What really makes a good day? 💜

At My Life Choice, we know it’s not about routines or timetables, it’s about creating spaces where people:

❤️ Feel calm, safe and accepted
💚 Are understood without needing to explain
💛 Have real choice and control
💙 Spend time doing what they love, with people who care

Because a good day should feel like their day. That’s the heart of what we do 🫶

“It doesn’t feel like home" is one of the most heartbreaking (and common) things we hear before someone transitions into Specialist Supported Housing 🏡

At My Life Choice, we believe a home should do more than meet needs. It should create comfort, calm, connection, and identity 💫

We’ve developed a simple 5-step framework for creating homes that truly feel like theirs, not just where they live, but where they belong 💜

Carers Week 2025: Putting Carers on the Map 💜

At My Life Choice, we’re proud to celebrate Carers Week 2025, a national campaign to recognise the incredible contributions of unpaid carers across the UK 👥

This year’s theme 'Putting Carers on the Map' highlights the need to better support and recognise the millions of people who care for family or loved ones every day, often without pay, training, or even being identified as a carer at all.

💚 Many of the individuals we support at My Life Choice have unpaid carers in their lives: mums, dads, siblings, partners, who are vital to the person’s journey and wellbeing.

🩵 We also see firsthand how some unpaid carers go on to become exceptional professional support workers, bringing compassion, resilience, and lived experience to the teams they join.

This week, and every week, we say thank you. To every carer: You are seen. You are valued. You are making a difference 👏🌟
