📚 Library Visit 📚

Residents enjoyed a visit to the library where they spent time browsing the shelves, reading together, and discovering new stories to enjoy. 😊✨

Some residents even borrowed books to take home and look forward to reading over the next few weeks! 📖💕 It was a lovely opportunity to relax, chat, and enjoy being part of the local community. 🥰

Our residents have been getting wonderfully creative

They’ve been writing their own beautiful haiku poetry—each one unique and full of imagination 🌿📜 And they’ve done a fantastic job as shown in the first photo!

At the same time, others have been diving into fun art challenges, expressing themselves through colour and creativity 🎨💫 It’s been amazing to see everyone getting involved and enjoying the process.

We’re so proud of all the creativity on display! 💛

🧁 Cupcake decorating 🧁

We had such a lovely time with our cupcake decorating activity

Residents really enjoyed getting creative, choosing from a variety of toppings and making each cupcake their own. From sprinkles to icing and everything in between!

Of course, the best part was getting to taste their creations afterwards — and they went down a treat! 😋

🐈 Cat Cafe 🐈

Sivan had the best visit to a cat cafe & was surrounded by curious, playful cats who were absolutely fascinated by her wheelchair…some even treating it like their own little climbing frame! 🐱

While she might not have smiled for the photos, don’t be fooled, she loved every single moment and soaked it all in off camera 💖

I just want to take a moment to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone for the incredible support so far 💙 It honestly means more than I can put into words!

We’ve raised an amazing £3,375 so far 🤯 I set myself a huge target and would have been buzzing to even reach half, so to be nearly there is just unbelievable 🙌

With just 47 days to go until 31st May ⏳, I’m heading into the final stretch! To finish, I’ll be completing 500,000 steps 👣 and taking on my biggest challenge yet — climbing 4 Munros in one weekend (22nd May ⛰️😅)

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll also be running football cards ⚽ (£5 per team — £100 to the winner & £100 to the GoFundMe) so keep an eye out!

Any donations, big or small, would be hugely appreciated as we make this final push 🙏 Donations can be made via the GoFundMe page or handed to any member of staff.

Thank you again for all the support — it’s been absolutely amazing 💙 I honestly don’t know what I’ll do with myself once this is all over as all my time and energy has gone into this challenge… but let’s finish strong together 💪🔥
