📣 Little update to our Meal Out plans! 🍽️
Our trip to the Prospect Inn has now been moved from Friday 22nd May to Friday 29th May ✨
After chatting with everyone, more people were interested in attending at the end of the month — especially after this week’s lovely (but slightly more expensive 😄) trip out.
We wanted to make sure as many people as possible had the chance to join us in a way that feels a little more affordable and comfortable 💙

🌼✨ MAY IS LOOKING VERY BUSY… AND VERY FUN! ✨🌼
The days are longer, the sun is (occasionally!) shining ☀️ and we’ve got a packed calendar of activities coming up this May at Access2Support!

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to providing the highest quality care and support 💙

That’s why we’re proud to invest in our team by using Care Skills Academy for staff training. This ensures our team stays fully compliant, continuously develops their skills, and keeps their CPD up to date.

By prioritising learning and professional growth, we can deliver the very best support to both our service users and our staff—because great care starts with a well-trained, confident team.

As part of our travel training at Step by Step, we regularly teach our service users to use public transport safely and confidently.
To help keep the cost of these trips as low as possible, we are asking parents and carers to apply for a Disabled Persons Railcard for their young person.

This railcard gives:
- 1/3 off rail fares for the cardholder
- 1/3 off for a companion travelling with them

This makes a big difference to the overall cost of our travel training days and helps us offer more opportunities.

What you need to do:

1. Apply for a Disabled Persons Railcard online
2. Provide the required evidence (details are listed on the application)
3. Once received, please let us know so we can use it when booking travel

You can apply here:
https://www.disabledpersons-railcard.co.uk/

If you need any support with the application or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’re happy to help.
Thank you for your support in helping us make travel training more accessible and affordable.

🐣🌸 Easter Adventures 🌸🐣

Our calm, wholesome Easter activity devolved into our usual brand of chaos with some very enthusiastic sponge painting 🎨 Paint may or may not have ended up everywhere. How Julie managed to get her foot involved in the artwork, we’ll never know 😂

We went for a yummy picnic under a beautiful blue sky 🧺, and had a surprisingly competitive game of bowls, Stuart is getting good at that!

BUT the real highlight was following the trail of the Easter Bunny…
🥚 BEHOLD THE GREAT HEATH PARK EGG HUNTERS 🥚

Our staf- ahem, I mean the Easter bunny, went all out, mischievously hiding eggs across our local park — some easy… some suspiciously well hidden 👀 — leading to lots of exploring, laughing, and epic chocolate rewards.

📸 Take a look at some of our favourite moments!

🐣 Easter Craft Showdown 🐣
Our talented group at Access2Support got stuck into Easter crafts
We split into two teams and things got serious

🧙‍♂️ Team Harry Potter brought the magic, with spellbinding creations that would make Hogwarts proud

🧹 Team Wicked defied gravity with their bold, brilliant designs (and a dash of mischief 💚)

There was laughter, friendly rivalry, and plenty of “WAIT don’t touch it, it’s not finished yet!” 😂
Sadly, innocent fluffy chicks WERE harmed in the making (we’re looking at you Keith! 👀)

✨ IT’S TIME TO DECIDE… ✨
👉 Who wins… Team Wicked or Team Harry Potter?! 👀

Muddy winter walk ❄️🚶‍♀️

Nothing like a little bit of crisp fresh air, on a week day amongst friends. A good time was had by all 🥰
