Last week our clients with their Support Workers got creative at the spring decoupage event hosted by Sarah Barker Art Studios CIC in Bodmin Old Library.
Bottles and boxes were transformed into beautiful decoupaged creations with a lot of fun, laughter and quite a bit of glue!
Sarah Barker is a professional mouth painting artist who has set up Sarah Barker Art Studios CIC, a disability led organisation enabling inclusive art programmes across Cornwall. Mid-Cornwall Lifestyles is very lucky to have Sarah as one of our charity’s trustees as she is a great disability advocate and living proof that through her own CIC she aims to break down barriers and build community through art where everyone has the right to belong and everybody has the right to be seen.

****Important information and links below****
With the UK experiencing an unprecedented heatwave we have some tips below to reduce the risk of dehydration:

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/dehydration/
Dehydration means your body loses more fluids than you take in. If it's not treated, it can get worse and become a serious problem.

Important
Babies, children and older adults are more at risk of dehydration.

Causes of dehydration
Dehydration can happen more easily if you:

have diabetes
have been sick or have diarrhoea
have been in the sun, or a hot environment, too long (heatstroke)
have drunk too much alcohol
sweat a lot after exercising
have a high temperature
take medicines that make you p*e more (diuretics)
rely on other people to get you drinks

Know the Signs of Lung Cancer 🤍

You know your body best. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to ask for help.

Look out for:

• A cough that lasts 3 weeks or more
• Feeling short of breath more often
• Chest pain when breathing or coughing
• Coughing up blood (even a small amount)
• Repeated chest infections
• A hoarse voice that does not improve

Most changes are not cancer, but getting checked early can make a real difference.
If you’re worried, speak to your GP or healthcare professional - support is available.
