🌻 World Su***de Prevention Day 🌻

Today at The Firs, we came together to reflect, remember, and celebrate the power of hope. Our residents shared their favourite memories and kind words, which we placed upon our Sunflower of Strength 🌻—a symbol of light, resilience, and community.

We also lit a candle 🕯️ to honour those we have lost, those who are struggling, and those who continue to shine their light each day.

Su***de prevention is about reminding one another that we are never alone, that every life holds value, and that even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference. 💛

Together, we can keep spreading love, hope, and strength.

🧠✨ Keeping Our Minds Active ✨🧠

It’s so important to keep our brains busy — and what better way than with fun, hands-on activities! 🎲🎉

Today our residents enjoyed playing a magnetic colour sorting game, which was not only great for the mind but also brought plenty of smiles and laughter. 🌈💛
