🎬✨ A little bit of creativity, teamwork and something slightly different happening at Acorn today…

We’ve swapped our usual routine for lights, cameras and plenty of smiles as everyone gets involved in a special project behind the scenes.

As part of yesterday’s community outing programme, some of our Acorn team enjoyed a visit to a local garden centre for coffee and cake.

After a busy and active few weeks, the visit provided a valuable opportunity to relax, socialise, and spend time together in the community. Outings such as these support wellbeing, confidence, communication skills, and the development of meaningful social connections, while encouraging independence and community inclusion.

The morning also offered opportunities to make choices, manage purchases, practise everyday life skills, and enjoy quality time with friends in a welcoming environment.

A simple but meaningful outing that was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone involved. ☕🍰

🌿🍅🥒 From Garden to Plate at Acorn! 🥒🍅🌿

Today’s taster session showcased some of the produce grown by the Acorn group, including our homegrown basil, tomatoes and golden courgettes.

These fresh ingredients were transformed into a delicious roasted tomato, golden courgette and pesto pasta salad, served alongside garlic bread topped with our homemade garlic butter, which was made during an earlier session. 🧄🍞

Growing, harvesting and cooking with our own produce is a fantastic way to develop practical skills, encourage healthy eating and enjoy the rewards of all the hard work that goes into the garden.

Well done to everyone involved – it was absolutely delicious! 🌱

🌾🧑‍🌾 What a fantastic day at the Wetwang Scarecrow Festival! 🧑‍🌾🌾

Yesterday, the Acorn groups enjoyed a wonderful day exploring the village’s amazing scarecrow trail, taking in all the creativity, community spirit and fun that makes the Wetwang Scarecrow Festival such a special event.

A particular highlight of the day was our very own Scarecrow Biscuit Bake-Off! 🍪🎉 Everyone put their baking and decorating skills to the test, creating some brilliant scarecrow-themed biscuits inspired by the festival. There were plenty of laughs, lots of imagination and some wonderfully unique creations – making it impossible to choose a favourite!

It was lovely to see everyone getting involved, supporting one another and celebrating each other’s efforts. Days like these are a great reminder that it’s not about being the best baker; it’s about having fun, being creative and making memories together.

A huge thank you to the organisers, volunteers and everyone involved in making the Wetwang Scarecrow Festival such a welcoming and enjoyable community event.

Well done to all our bakers – we think you’re all winners! 🌟🍪🌾

Here are a few of many photos 📸

🌿☀️ Today at Acorn we made the decision to head to the cool, shaded surroundings of Dalby Forest to enjoy the beautiful weather safely during the high temperatures.

Being outdoors has so many positive benefits for wellbeing - from reducing stress and anxiety to improving mood, confidence, communication, and overall mental health. Spending time in nature encourages movement, social interaction, sensory experiences, and mindfulness, all while giving everyone the chance to slow down, relax, and enjoy the world around them. 🌳

With the hot weather, our focus today was making sure everyone stayed safe, cool, and hydrated. We enjoyed shaded woodland walks, regular rest breaks, plenty of water and cool picnic spots under the trees.

Nature-based activities like today remind us that wellbeing is not just about staying active - it’s also about feeling calm, connected, and supported in the environment around us. 🌿

Today one of our Acorn groups enjoyed a fantastic day out at Mr Moo’s! 🐮🍦

We enjoyed a picnic lunch, had a lovely walk along the beach, and of course treated ourselves to some delicious ice cream to finish the day.

Days like these are all about enjoying new experiences, building friendships, getting out into the community, and making happy memories together ✨ ☀️

Today one of our groups enjoyed making fresh tomato and basil soup using the basil we’ve been growing ourselves at Acorn 🍅🌿

They also made homemade garlic and basil butter with delicious garlic bread to go alongside it 🧄🥖

Cooking sessions like these are a great way to build confidence, develop independence and enjoy time together as a group — and there’s something extra special about using ingredients we’ve grown ourselves! 😊

Today one of our groups enjoyed a fantastic SEN trampolining session at Gravity! ✨

Sessions like these offer so many benefits beyond just exercise. Trampolining can help improve coordination, balance, confidence, sensory regulation and overall wellbeing, while also providing a safe and inclusive space to socialise, have fun and build friendships.

We love seeing everyone encouraging one another, giving things a try and growing in confidence at their own pace 😊 Every small achievement matters.

A brilliant session all round! 🌟

🌊☀️ Today, one of our small groups enjoyed a lovely day out at Bondville Model Village in Bridlington.

The day got off to a great start with some travel training, helping individuals to build confidence, independence, communication skills, and awareness while accessing the community and using public transport 🚍

Travel training also encourages problem solving, decision making, social interaction, and prepares people for greater independence in everyday life.

Everyone had a fantastic time exploring the miniature village, spotting all the tiny details, trains, gardens, and seaside scenes along the way 🏡🚂

A small team from Acorn Personal Development Centre had a fantastic morning at Driffield Padel Court this morning 🎾

It was wonderful to see everyone trying something new, building confidence together, encouraging one another, and having lots of fun along the way.

At Acorn, we’re passionate about creating positive opportunities within our local community that support wellbeing, inclusion, confidence, teamwork, and social connection - and this was a brilliant example of that.

Thank you to Driffield Padel Court for inviting our group down to experience the facilities and for being so accommodating throughout.

There were lots of laughter, and some surprisingly competitive moments too!

We’re already looking forward to our next visit 😊🏓
