Sharing is a central part of Best Life - sharing memories, sharing skills, and of course sharing in good times!🧡

A popular part of our routine at Redland Day Club is our seated movement session. We particularly love it when our wonderful clients take the lead on the exercises! Recently we've been learning about traditional dance from Sri Lanka from one of our amazing clients🇱🇰

It's truly special to share these meaningful moments together at our weekly club.If you or a loved one feel as if you'd like to come and say hello, you can book a free taster session here: https://www.bestlife.org.uk/day-club ✨

Whilst we enjoy a range of regular activities at our day club, it’s always nice to try something new✨

One of our lovely day club clients enjoyed having a go at the guitar for the first time... and she was a natural🎼

The warm, welcoming environment of our day clubs makes trying new things accessible rather than daunting, and a lot of laughs are always had in the process🥰

Best Life’s day clubs run in Bedminster, Redland and Winterbourne weekly and you can try a taster session for free! Find out more on our website: https://www.bestlife.org.uk/day-club 🌟

Spring has sprung at our Redland Day Club!🌷

As part of our weekly club, we enjoy walks in the beautiful gardens connecting with nature.🌻

This is a wonderful way to share conversations about flowers, plants and the great outdoors. Fingers crossed the sun stays shining so we can have more days like this!☀️

Our Day Clubs run in Redland, Winterbourne and Bedminster weekly and are for adults with memory loss. The first 4 hour taster session is completely free of charge including lunch - a simple way to see if the club is right for your loved one. 💞

Spotting loneliness can be trickier than we might think. It can arrive slowly and may be difficult to acknowledge - in ourselves and others.

Alongside a growing feeling of loneliness, confidence can lessen and once easy tasks can feel daunting and heavy.

Spotting loneliness, although difficult, can actually be really positive. In doing so, we are taking the first step towards feeling brighter again.🌱

Companionship offers reassurance without pressure. Encouragement without expectation.

It allows confidence to rebuild at its own pace.🌿

So, we hear you ask, what does companionship look like in practice?

Well, it’s different for everyone.

For some, a cup of coffee and a good old chinwag after hanging up the washing together. ☕

For others, an outing to the local shopping centre or park.🌿

But there’s one thing that remains the same, no matter the activity, client or companion: Consistent, thoughtful support founded on human connection.✨

No checklists, no taking over, no rushing, just reliable, individualised support.

There are times for everyone where personalised support can gently lift us, restoring that quiet confidence in a daily routine, hobby or even learning something new.☀️

At Best Life, companionship is built on genuine human connection. It’s never rushed and it’s always flexible.

Having a companion does not mean a loss of autonomy. In fact, it could be the very thing that restores independence.

✨ We’re Bringing Everything Together! ✨

As many of you know, our Day Club and Companions services have each had their own pages. As we’ve continued to grow and support an ever-increasing number of vulnerable adults in our community, we’ve decided it’s time to bring everything together in one place 💛

We’re excited to share that we are amalgamating our two Facebook accounts into one streamlined page!

Why?
Because we want to share the joy, the achievements, the special moments, and the incredible work our staff do across all of our services all in one easy-to-follow space. This will help us better showcase the dedication of our team and the wonderful experiences of the people we support.

From Day Club activities to one-to-one companion support, you’ll now be able to see the full picture of the care, connection, and community we’re so proud to provide.

Please make sure you’re following this page to stay up to date and thank you, as always, for being part of our journey 💫

Here’s to continuing to grow, support, and share the love together.

💜 Tip Tuesday: Managing stress for carers

Caring for someone with dementia can be overwhelming. Here are 3 small ways to help manage stress:

Pause and breathe – take a few slow, deep breaths when things feel too much.
Break tasks into small steps – focus on one thing at a time to feel more in control.
Take short breaks for yourself – even 5–10 minutes of rest, a walk, or a cup of tea can make a difference.

Remember, looking after yourself isn’t selfish — it helps you care better. 💜
