🚐 Prioritising Safety at Hesley Group

At Hesley Group, keeping the people we support - and our colleagues - safe is at the heart of everything we do.

Recently, it was identified that some of our support colleagues felt less confident driving and parking the larger minibuses used within our service. To ensure everyone feels safe, capable, and supported, our Group Transport Lead, Rachel, arranged for a specialist trainer to come to Copperclay Mews to work with each driver individually.

This proactive approach not only boosts skills and confidence, but also strengthens our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety in every aspect of our work.

A huge thank you to Rachel and everyone involved for making safety a continued priority. 🌟

🥞 Pancake Day Fun at Low Laithes

We had such a brilliant time celebrating Pancake Day on Tuesday. Everyone loved practicing their pancake flipping skills - some impressive spins and a few funny flops 😄

Once the flipping was done, we piled on our favourite yummy toppings and enjoyed every bite. A delicious day all round!

🫶📽️ Inspiring Stories | Family Voices

Over the last eight months we’ve loved sharing some amazing stories from parents of the people we support. This month, we’re shining a light on Tina and her son Russean, who is on one of the pathways at Mercury College.

Tina told us:
“It means a lot because it just turned Russean into an adult.”
💚 Such a powerful moment.

🎬 Watch Tina’s full interview here or via YouTube at ➡️ https://youtu.be/bfpdWPQ5-30

A huge thank‑you to Tina for generously sharing her experience and insight.

If you’re a parent or carer of someone we support and you’d be happy to share your story, we’d really love to hear from you. 💬

Pancake Day Fun at Copperclay Mews! 🥞

We’ve been celebrating Pancake Day in true Copperclay style - with lots of creativity, laughter, and some very interesting topping choices!

From the classic favourites like sugar & lemon, golden syrup, and Nutella… to the more adventurous options (yes, someone really tried tomato sauce 😄), everyone had a brilliant time designing their perfect pancake.

A highlight of the day was watching one of the people we support confidently flipping his own pancake - definitely a star moment! ⭐️👏

What topping masterpieces have you created today?

🎉 Celebrating Chinese New Year at Mercury College!

Before heading off for the half‑term break, our students enjoyed getting creative as they marked Chinese New Year together.

They spent time making vibrant decorations and even helped design a special Chinese‑inspired menu for Café Juno! It was a fantastic way to explore culture and work collaboratively with colour and creativity, whilst welcoming the Year of the Fire Horse – which symbolises independence, ambition, energy and more.

Wishing all our students, colleagues, and families a joyful and prosperous Chinese New Year! ⭐🧨

❤️ Valentine’s Fun at Lockett Gardens!

On Friday, Lockett Gardens enjoyed a wonderful day of Valentine’s‑themed activities. Everyone got creative making beautiful cards and heart‑shaped crafts, filling the room with colour and smiles.

We also fired up the smoothie bike, blending delicious homemade smoothies with a choice of strawberry, blueberry, or banana - our staff even joined in on the cycling fun! 🚴‍♀️🍓

A highlight of the day was our cake and bun‑making competition. Individuals loved preparing their tasty creations at home with support from their staff teams, and the results were fantastic! 🧁✨

For those who preferred something quieter, personalised craft packs were available to enjoy at their own pace. Once the Valentine’s cards were finished, they were posted in the Lockett Gardens post box - and one very enthusiastic individual proudly volunteered to deliver them with their staff. 💌🙂

A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day so special!

Development Progress at Village Green, Meadow View

We’re excited to share a first look at one of the refurbishment projects currently underway at Village Green as part of our wider development plans for Meadow View.

What was previously one large accommodation (VG10) has now been transformed into two modern, individual homes. We’re delighted that one person has already moved into the completed property, and as you can see, the second home is now nearing completion.

There’s plenty more progress to come across Meadow View - including updates from Woodland View soon - so stay tuned.

On Sunday 8th February, two individuals from King Street were supported to take part in the Annual York Ice Trail. They spent the day exploring the beautiful cobbled streets of York, using the Ice Trail map to hunt for the hidden ice sculptures scattered throughout the city. They enjoyed taking photos of the sculptures they discovered — and even posing with a few favourites along the way.

The outing included a cosy stop for lunch and a warm drink, offering a nice break from the winter chill. The day was rounded off with a visit to the stunning York Minster, adding a perfect finishing touch to a memorable experience.
