What a FANTASTIC Summer we have had!

Gabby - Barging it!

The Centre has been buzzing with our long term members who have provided the warmest of welcomes to the new members, which has meant there has been lots of happy times!!!

In addition to our daily centre activities we've enjoyed lots of AMAZING events, most voted for at our Parliament meetings (If you are not booked onto the next one, call the office!).  Barnstondale was incredible with so many personal achievements and many hidden talents discovered too.  Our musical barge was magical and a mix of fun and relaxing...hardly surprising as our staff team was Michelle and Sunshine Ray!

Helen worked hard with the NHS and Liverpool Museum to take 3 groups to the beach on a sensory bus. To follow up on this Emily and Helen went to do a talk all about it at Liverpool Art Gallery. Emily's presentation was great and enjoyed by everyone. 

Summer seen us attending events / activities with community partners: Magenta Living, Bloom, Rhythm Reaction, Wirral Unplugged, Mencap, Flower people, Window project,   In addition to our member schemes 'Explorer' and 'Parliament' we also have an Advisory board that sees us meeting up regularly with Carers, Participants and other local organisations. 

Did you know - We were runners up Disability Champions with The Steve Morgan Foundation and we used our winnings to pay for a musical barge and our peace garden project.

The Centre is busy most days with a variety of movement, sensory and relaxation based activities and now musical, around the world and crafty ones too.  In fact our art was that good it got put in an exhibition at the Art Gallery!

Caren wanted to share how Yoga makes her feel, she attends Yoga for Beginners every Tuesday for a mix of posture and co-ordination work and breathing exercises and her favourite - relaxation.  She said 'It makes me feel happy, settled, looser and peaceful’. If you would like to attend there are places in this community class that runs every Tue 3pm £5 (Mats and blankets provided).
