Even more good news! The wonderful Cameron has organised it so that we are the beneficiaries of the fundraising activities in Costa Coffee Heswall! If you are out shopping why not pop in to see if you could bag yourself a free drink/snack and raise money for us while you are at it? ☺️🫖☕🍪

We are lucky to be supported by lots of family members who recognise the great things we get up to and the benefits that go with them.
This is Nathan and his Nan and Grandad have been coming to Welcome Me for over 3 years! He gathered sponsors to raise money for us when he ran in the Chester marathon this weekend. He did it in 4 hours and 6 minutes!! 😳
Thank you Nathan, you did yourself and us proud 😇

We have all had a great time turning our wall tree into a lovely autumnal tree here at WelcomeMe.
🍏 🍐 🍎🍄
A fantastic joint effort by all 3 groups, working together to create a beautiful mural for us to enjoy.
The final result is amazing.
Well done everyone.

How gorgeous do these tealight holders look? 😍

A couple of weeks ago we started to make some tealight holders using cotton wool pads soaked in a paint and glue mixture which were then arranged over the rim of a reusable cup.

We had to wait a week for them to dry but we think they were worth the wait. Of course, for safety reasons they are only to be used with battery powered tealights, but they are still incredibly effective 💕

If you would like to come along and join us for fun and friendship then please get in touch.

It's been a busy couple of weeks here at WelcomeMe, so busy that we forgot to take lots of photos of our lovely groups having fun.

But here are a few that we did remember to take - one week we took part in our very own Wacky Races. We picked our vehicle, coloured them in and created our cars before a very competitive race to the finish line.

Last week we made flower-shaped tealight holders - we soaked cotton wool pads in coloured liquid and arranged them around the rim of a cup. We now have to wait until this week to see how well they've dried so we can put a battery-operated tealight in them. We are confident they are going to be gorgeous.

He might not wear a cape or un**es on the outside but that doesn't stop our Neil being Superman in our eyes!
Neil recently took part in the Liverpool to Chester return (!) bike race and collected a whopping £550 in sponsorship for our groups! 🤩🤩🤩 What an absolute superstar!
We will put the money towards all the boring but essential things that grants don't cover, such as insurance!
Thank you Neil, you smashed it!

Busy week for everyone, wind chimes created a lot of interest and fabulous sounds for our gardens.

We had a lovely time at WelcomeMe today.
There was the choice of either making a bicycle greetings card (picture in comments as Facebook won't let us upload mixed media grrr) or exercising our brains with a game of countdown.
Whatever choice was made, we all had a brilliant afternoon

Phew! What a scorcher 🌞
What else could we have done today except make fans, sup chilled juice and have a jolly good natter about anything that came to mind.
Sometimes it's the simple things that bring the most pleasure.

This week was all about coordination and working as a team.
We started off aiming to get the coloured balls on the matching segment of the parachute. Then we all worked together to roll a ball around the edge.
Next up was bouncing balls into the pots. Sounds easy but the balls seemed to have a mind of their own 😂
(Videos are in the comments)

There was plenty of laughter today.
