🎉 Lots of smiles, fun and adventures this week! 💜

🎪 Tash had a fantastic time at the circus! She was laughing from the moment she spotted the man with the red nose 🤡 and loved clapping, singing and joining in throughout the show. A trip for fish and chips on the way home made it even better! 🍟❤️

🃏 Steve has been enjoying some friendly competition playing cards with his support worker, Mia.

🦁 Stuart had a lovely day out at Bristol Zoo, while Les enjoyed some fresh air and a relaxing afternoon in Minehead. 🌊☀️

👩‍🍳 Donna has been practising her everyday skills by preparing her own dinner — fantastic work, Donna! 👏

🌟 And Rowena is continuing to love her time at Eastfield’s Day Service, enjoying new experiences and making new friends. 💕

Another week of making memories, building independence and having fun! 🥰

We’ve had another busy couple of weeks, with everyone getting out and about, trying new things and making some wonderful memories. 💜

🐴 Rowena had a very successful trial day at Eastfields and loved it so much that she’d like to attend their day service each week! From grooming a pony 🐴 and stroking a lizard 🦎 to cuddling a baby guinea pig 🐹 and painting pebbles 🎨, she had a go at it all — and even made lots of new friends along the way! 💕 What a fantastic day!

🕺 Stuart had a brilliant time at Disco, enjoying the music, dancing and plenty of fun! 🎶🪩

🍫 Tracey had a fantastic day out at Cadbury World — chocolate, fun and a great day out… what’s not to love?! 😋🍫

🏍️🍔 Lisa enjoyed an exciting evening at The Skylark for their bike and burger night! She particularly loved watching the motorbikes and even got to hear one being revved up after her support worker asked a biker to give it a little extra welly! 🏍️💨

🎨 Lisa has also been busy showing off her creative talents — she won the scrap art competition at Blossom! 🏆🎨 She then enjoyed another great day out at Willow and Wetlands, making it a week full of fun and adventures!

🔥 Alfred Court made the most of the sunshine with a lovely afternoon BBQ! 🌭🍔☀️ Good food, good company and plenty of smiles — the perfect way to spend an afternoon!

Here’s to another week of new experiences, new friendships and making memories! 🥰💜

🎉🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ WE DID IT — 100KM COMPLETE! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🎉

What a way to cross the finish line! 💙

We’ve officially completed 100km as part of our August fundraising challenge! 🙌

Liam and Emma got the team to 99km yesterday, and then Lili stepped up and took us over the finish line with the final kilometre! ⭐🏃‍♀️

A huge congratulations to everyone who has ran and clocked up those kilometres along the way. Every single step has helped us get closer to our fundraising goal and, most importantly, towards creating amazing experiences, opportunities and lasting memories for the people we support. 💙

Now let's see what we can raise before our End of Summer Celebration on Saturday 26 September at Huish House, Taunton! 🌞🎊

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far — we couldn’t have done it without you! 💌

🌟 A little glimpse into life with us! 🌟

It’s been another busy one, with plenty of adventures, creativity, animals and delicious treats! 🥰

🎨 Zoe has been getting creative and has been busy painting her flat — we can’t wait to see the finished result! 🏡✨

🐴 Jess has been enjoying some lovely time with the animals and a visit to Doniford Farm. What better way to spend the day than surrounded by furry and four-legged friends? 🐑🐐💕

✈️ One of the young ladies we support enjoyed an exciting trip to Dunkeswell Airfield, as well as making a splash with a spot of swimming! 🏊‍♀️✈️

🌳 Hugh enjoyed a lovely walk around Bluebell Woods, made even more special when he discovered an angel and a flower rock along the way. 👼🌸🪨 It’s amazing what little treasures you can find when you’re out exploring!

☕🥐 Simon enjoyed a lovely morning out, starting with breakfast before heading to a farm café — a pretty perfect combination if you ask us! 😋

🏰 Natasha made the most of her National Trust card with a fantastic day out at Castle Drogo in Exeter. She enjoyed a lively walk through the trees, explored the castle, stopped for lunch and then wandered around the beautiful gardens. 🌳🏰🌺

It’s wonderful seeing everyone making the most of their time, trying new things and enjoying the simple pleasures of everyday life. 💜✨
