🍳 What's cooking?

We have been working on some quick, easy and healthy snacks in the kitchen – perfect for something you can put together yourself.

There was plenty of tasting and comparing along the way, including a serious debate over hummus versus tzatziki!

Building confidence and skills in the kitchen, with Jamie feeding back from the session: “I think I can make this myself.” 😃

🌿 Proud to be part of our community

Our Co-op members have been out litter picking around our site and the wider community, working together to keep the spaces we all share clean and welcoming.

As Eileen put it: “If we work in teams of two we will get the work done.”

A pretty good plan! Well done everyone👏

Making Summer Memories - at the arcade 🎮☀

Andy enjoyed a trip to the arcades, trying out different games and having plenty of fun along the way.

From testing his skills to enjoying the excitement of the games, it looks like it was a great day out! 💛

We wonder which game was the favourite? 😃

🎯 Pétanque – who even knew?!

A game of strategy, skill, and a new challenge for some of us. We have been refining our techniques in throwing metal balls at a small target. 🎯
Not as straightforward as it appears, but a great experience and, like most competitive sports, it can be intense!

We bumped into someone while playing who happens to play for the South East! They kindly shared some useful tips and advice, which certainly came in handy.

We were first introduced to the game by Claire and her parents, who used to play competitively in Spain – so perhaps we have a future champion among us! 🥇

📋 Planning ahead

Our life skills sessions have been getting practical, with members using our new space, The Link, to think about what goes into planning an event – including our upcoming member picnic.

From considering the weather to making sure there's enough to drink, suncream and somewhere to escape the heat, there's plenty to think about!

“I think we need extra shading if it's going to be hot.” ☀️

Making Summer Memories - on the rides ☀🎢

Freddie recently enjoyed a trip to Drusilla's Zoo, taking in the sights, spending time with the animals and enjoying a fun ride during the day.

A lovely day out, plenty of smiles and some great memories made 💛🐯

Teamwork makes the dream work! 🚐💛

Our members have been getting involved with vehicle maintenance tasks, from giving the vehicle a good clean to helping with refuelling.

These everyday activities are a great way to develop practical skills, work together as a team and take pride in looking after the things that support our daily activities.

A great example of learning by doing and achieving goals together 👏
