Alison has worked alongside David and his family for several years. Reflecting on her time, she shared:

"I feel lucky to support David and be there to help him live his best life. It’s amazing to watch him achieve his goals and see him happy. A real highlight for me is getting to see David go to his local pub, mixing with the regulars, having banter with the barmaids and making new friendships.

Through supporting David, I have made lovely connections with his family. We always work together to make the biggest difference and find the best way forward. I am so happy that I get to call this my job".

Our teams develop positive relationships with families, built on trust and open communication, and feel truly privileged to work so closely alongside them.

Support changes lives, including all our colleagues at Natural Breaks 💜

April has been a busy month at Natural Breaks. From bowling nights to football matches to attending the Well Placed Common Ground Conference and proudly welcoming The Casey Commission to Liverpool, it’s been non-stop 💥

The Casey Commission has been set up by the Prime Minister and is being led by Baroness Casey to recommend how we should reform adult social care.

The commissioners visited people we support within their own homes followed by open and honest meetings, about the current social care system and the changes we would like to see, with families, carers, staff and trustees.

We are incredibly proud to deliver a diverse range of support, projects and events every month, as well as work alongside several wonderful organisations and have the opportunity to contribute to important, vital conversations 🚀

That’s why we live by the motto – Natural Breaks, it’s never boring!

On Wednesday, we were proud to attend the Well Placed Common Ground 2026 event at Scale 💜

The day was all about working together to break down barriers, close gaps and find stronger ways of working together in the health, social and third sector. Bringing together senior leaders in the sectors, the event was eye-opening, inspiring, and a powerful reminder of the importance of partnership work.

Our CEO, Diane, starred on the 'Being Brave: Doing things differently with courage and freedom' panel at the event and shared genuine, first-hand insights.

A huge thank you to Well Placed for having us and for letting us exhibit to share the incredible work we do. Together, we can create a better world for everyone 💥

Last weekend, Jackie was supported to fulfil one of her life-long dreams of visiting Anfield Stadium ❤

As a true red, Jackie was in her element exploring the LFC ground, player's tunnel, home team dressing room and press conference room. She had an incredible time reading about the club's history and getting to see all the major trophies together for the first time.

This was an experience that Jackie could finally tick off her bucket list and what topped it all off, was going to watch the derby afterwards ⚽

Moments like this are what its all about at Natural Breaks and show that with the right support, goals really can become a reality.

We're looking forward to attending and being a part of Well Placed x Common Ground 2026 event at Scale 🚀

The event brings leaders from the health, social and third sector to join together and learn how we can best support one another. This is a fantastic opportunity for Natural Breaks to celebrate and connect with our communities.

Stay tuned for updates 💥

On Wednesday, we were thrilled to welcome The Casey Commission to Natural Breaks! The Commission has been set up by the Prime Minister and is being led by Baroness Casey to recommend how we should reform adult social care.

The Casey Commissioners visited people we support within their own homes followed by open and honest meetings with families/carers, staff and Trustees. Together, we spoke about the current social care system, challenges faced and the changes we would all like to see in the future 💥

The visit also provided the Casey Commission with a first-hand insight into the lived experiences of people we support, their day-to-day lives and the support they receive.

It was an incredible opportunity to showcase best practice, provide an important, front-line reflection of social care and highlight how meaningful, person-centred support can empower people to live full and independent lives 🚀

We’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such an important conversation and help shape a better future for social care and thank our friends at VODG for facilitating.

What a strike 🎳

Last night, we hosted our second monthly bowling nights for people we support, staff, families and friends alike! The evenings provide a safe space for people to connect, try something different and be part of their local community.

None of this would be possible without the Take a Break Project and our generous supporters.

Natural Breaks finished its last week of self-defence training for people we support, on Thursday! Over the course of 6 weeks, we have explored physical techniques, safety precautions, boundary setting and awareness of your environment.

Cathy and Gary from have been instrumental in helping people we support grow in confidence and ability, and the sessions would not have been possible without them.

Thank you for everything and we hope another 6-week course might be on the horizon, in the near future ⚡

Working together with our communities and building genuine partnerships is incredibly important to Natural Breaks. Last year, we collaborated with The VNC - AVCT to deliver inclusive football sessions to people we support.

The sessions were designed to build confidence, keep active and develop skills in a welcoming, fun environment ⚽

We're proud that through our partnerships and community work, we are able to offer more services and activities to people we support.
