Low Laithes Gardening Together 🌸🪴

Last Friday at Low Laithes, we came together to work on our communal garden areas.

The people we support chose their favourite plant from the bunch and planted it wherever they liked 🌼🌱 The pots and borders are beginning to look lovely and colourful, thanks to a real joint effort.

A big thank you to our admin, clinical, vocational and care teams for your support 👏💚 And an extra special thanks to estates and facilities, the nature trail looks amazing.

Celebrating Co-Production at Hesley Group

We’d like to give a huge shout‑out to one of the people we support, Stacie, who has recently played an important role in our staff induction programme.

Stacie does a fantastic job welcoming our new starters, sharing her own experiences of living at King Street, and helping our inductees understand what great support looks and feels like.

Stacie also recently took part in First Aid training, continuing her own learning and development. This shows just how committed she is to being involved, building skills, and contributing to life at Hesley.

Thank you for your brilliant energy, honesty, and teamwork. You’ve made a real difference, and we’re incredibly proud of you!

🌊 A lovely day on The Pearl

Last Wednesday, four of the people we support at Meadow View enjoyed a wonderful trip aboard 'The Pearl' barge with The Ethel Barge Trust. They enjoyed taking turns with the steering and also took in some beautiful sights along the way, including a swan that decided to follow the barge for part of the journey! 🦢

The perfect day was topped off with everyone enjoying a classic fish & chips on the way home. 🍟🐟

Delivering positive and engaging induction experiences 💙

What a wonderful induction session at our Wadworth training site last week.

We were delighted to welcome our latest inductees, who also completed their Day 4 PBS training with a 100% pass rate – a real credit to everyone involved.

Inductee Angela Wright (Tutor) took the lead on part of the EDI session, delivering a thoughtful and engaging presentation on the definitions of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. After handing out some chocolate, Angela encouraged everyone to share the first word that came to mind – and every answer was different. A great example of how uniquely we all experience the world.

To make things even more memorable, she then handed out jelly babies, explaining that they all have different faces and personalities… and yes, we learned that all Bassets jelly babies have names! 😂

A fun, insightful and inclusive way to kick-start such an important conversation.

Well done to all our inductees – we hope this was a welcoming and impactful experience.

🌞 ♻️ This week's Upcycling Crafts Session at Meadow View took place outside in the beautiful sunshine.

The people we support made sunflowers from foam pipe tubing, scrap cardboard and paper.
We then sowed sunflower seeds to grow the real thing.

We can't wait to see how tall they'll grow! 🌻🌱

To finish off the Easter weekend at Meadow View we held an Easter Egg Hunt in the horticulture area and asked the people we support if they would like to design their own Easter Egg.

We think they did a really good job 🤩🐰🌷🥚

At Hesley Group, we are proud to support as it returns for its 5th year this April.

This is a fantastic opportunity to shine a light on the incredible people who make social care what it is - skilled, compassionate, dedicated professionals who make a real difference every single day.

Social care changes lives. It supports people to live fulfilling lives, achieve their goals, and be the best version of themselves. That is why taking time to recognise and celebrate the sector, and the amazing colleagues within it, matters so much.

Throughout April, we will be joining others across the sector in celebrating the achievements, stories, and impact of social care.

We would encourage everyone to get involved by:

Sharing good news stories 📰✨
Recognising colleagues 👏🏽🌟
Highlighting the importance of social care ❤️🤝
Running activities and events 🎉📅
