September Acrostic Poem #1

Summer has left us all.
Eventually it will return.
Passing clouds rush by.
Time to say goodbye.
Evening sky a finery show.
Misty mornings begin to Glow.
Brown leaves start to fall.
Echos of a birds call.
Reminds us all, no time to stall.

Written by clients at Lawrence weston.

This week we wanted to share some wonderful insights about how poetry can be a powerful tool for stimulating memory, enhancing language skills, and providing an emotional outlet. It's fascinating how poetry can also foster social connections and strengthen our sense of identity.

There are a variety of engaging activities, guided reading sessions with well-known poems can be a delightful way to start. Additionally, exploring poems that relate to the five senses can bring a whole new level of immersion and enjoyment.

Creating personalised seasonal poems through storytelling or guided exercises can be incredibly rewarding. It's a great way to express our thoughts and emotions uniquely and creatively. Our guided workshops can offer a fantastic opportunity to connect with others, sharing our creations, and gaining new perspectives.

Let's embrace the magic of poetry and experience its myriad benefits together this week.

We are feeling incredibly lucky to be at Ridgewood Community Centre, on a Thursday the atmosphere is always alive with the sound of singing and the joyous echoes of laughter heard from the car park. We've been having an absolute blast getting our hands dirty and creating beautiful pieces with clay – it's amazing how therapeutic and enjoyable it can be! Of course, our beloved knit and natter sessions are as delightful as ever. All this work makes us hungry so a trip to get fish and chips was a must today 😋 we all need a treat now and then!!!

It's wonderful to see everyone's creativity and hard work coming to together in such a stunning way. We truly have a special community here, and it's all thanks to the fantastic people who make it so vibrant and welcoming.

We just wanted to extend a very big THANK YOU to the entire team at the Bristol Dementia Action Alliance for inviting us to last month's disco. We were truly made to feel very special, and we had the most amazing time. A special shoutout to Judy, who dazzled everyone with her dance moves and even won a first prize! No one left empty handed, the retro pick and mix is still a topic of conversation.

Thanks again for such a fantastic afternoon. We genuinely look forward to future events and working alongside you more.

Another amazing day out here at Autumn Years Community Care Ltd… This time at Slimbridge! We were truly blessed with the changeable weather today it was in definitely in our favour.
With the company of great friends, we enjoyed feeding the geese and swans, we watched some incredible bird shows, the playful Otters came over to say hello and we had a delightful picnic sat in the sunshine , We even had a bit of excitement with a cheeky pelican named Spout, who almost had us organising a search party when he flew off in the wrong direction! It’s thanks to the dedication of our wonderful staff, we can plan and enjoy these days together.

A huge shoutout to Faye and Sophie at Severnside Community Rail Partnership for organising a fantastic train trip to Bath Spa! They ensured everyone was included, and we all had a wonderful day. The 'Day Trips By Train' experience was comfortable and thoughtfully planned. Starting from Bristol Parkway, Great Railway's Passenger Assist service was invaluable, helping those who needed assistance to get on and off the trains. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Despite the weather being a tad too hot, the bunting above provided much-needed shade as we wandered past the Abbey and found a lovely spot to enjoy a light lunch. We then leisurely made our way back to the station, soaking in the street music and performances. The journey back was equally delightful, with stunning countryside views and a refreshing ice lolly to cool us down.

It was an excellent demonstration of how the railway can cater to accessibility needs. Great Western Railway's Passenger Assist service is there to ensure your journey is as comfortable as possible. For more information about this fantastic service, which is available for people with disabilities, check out their website: https://www.gwr.com/travel-information/passenger-assist.

A great day all around!

Today was truly special, where all centres came together and enjoyed time with each other and what a wonderful time we had at Oakham Treasures! It really would be easier to tell you what we haven’t seen today, than to try and list all the incredible things we did. Every nook and cranny was filled with delightful memories and keys to our childhood. We could have spent hours exploring all the treasures.
One of the highlights was Grace trying to use a rotary telephone - it was so charming and amusing watching Gerald explaining to turn the dial as she pressed the numbers📞
Also Carmel wondering how she would get up onto a penny farthing that was nearly as tall as her.

Please take a moment to enjoy the pictures zoom in and look through the photos and reminisce with your loved ones, both young and old. I'm sure you'll find as much joy in these moments as we did.
