There is a real sense of excitement as we get ready for our upcoming group holiday. Our holidays are a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a change of scenery in a relaxed and supportive environment. The first group holiday of every year is named after Fred Wellings in memory of his lifelong support and generous legacy.
We are looking forward to a fun-filled few days, with a lovely mix of activities planned for everyone to enjoy. The holiday will include swimming in a lido, a relaxing canal boat trip, a barbecue, and meals out together. Each activity offers a chance to unwind, try something different, and enjoy quality time with new friends.
Group holidays are about so much more than the activities themselves. They bring build confidence, encourage independence, and give everyone the chance to enjoy new experiences in a beautiful and friendly setting. We are all looking forward to the laughter, conversations, and happy moments that will make this holiday so special.
Volunteers’ Week gave us a wonderful opportunity to thank our amazing volunteers. We are always grateful for the wide range of ways they support our charity.
Some of our volunteers help pack carer hampers and TeensPLUS challenge boxes, coming into the office ready to help us provide a little respite in a box for adult and young carers. Their bubbly, enthusiastic nature always fills the office with conversation and laughter.
Others support us with computers and technical issues, making life much easier by being on hand when things go wrong. We’ve found that the offer of a cup of tea and a biscuit can bring them into the office in no time!
We also have a volunteer who shares her many years of marketing knowledge, which is a huge help to us.
To show how much we appreciate everything they do, we delivered a small cream tea in a box to each of them.
We must know our volunteers quite well by now, because there were plenty of smiling faces as we handed over the cream teas!
Help us help people with disabilities and carers have a break away or a short period of respite.
Many unpaid carers spend their time making sure their loved ones are healthy and happy. These carers often don’t have the time to take a short break or do something especially for their enjoyment and wellbeing.
Many people with disabilities do not have the opportunity or the available funds to take a holiday even just for a couple of days. Getting a break somewhere new, trying new things, meeting new people and being able to put their day to day life to one side for even a short period of time can be a life-line.
We aim to support people have time to themselves and not have to think about hospital visits or appointments. Time to recuperate in different surroundings whether a beach in Norfolk, a holiday cottage in the New Forest or even in spa hotel only a few miles from home.
These little periods of respite can make a huge difference not only to the person we are helping but to those around them.
