Anthony has always loved music. It makes him happy, gives him confidence and helps him connect with other people 🎼

At home, Anthony enjoys practising with his own music equipment, including a boom box and a karaoke machine. This gives him the chance to play music, sing along and build his confidence in a space where he feels comfortable.

Recognising his passion, Anthony's support team encouraged him to connect with his interests in a real, tangible way - and the rest is history 🎧

When Cathy was diagnosed with cancer, she faced a frightening and uncertain time.

As Cathy does not use words to communicate and is unable to make complex decisions about her health, Cathy relied on her incredible support team — and they rose to the challenge.

Today, Cathy is living and thriving. We are so proud of her courage, determination and resilience every step of the way ✨

Feedback from families means the world to us and reminds us of why the work we do is important. Here's what one family shared about David:

“The support David receives from Natural Breaks means that he can live independently. Despite gradually losing the use of his legs, he has a good social life and is able to participate in a lot of activities that he couldn't previously.

I know that David is well cared for by Natural Breaks and because of this, I no longer worry about what is going to happen to him when I die. He will still be loved and looked after by the staff, who have his best interests at heart.

I have nothing but praise for the staff at Natural Breaks, especially those working to support David in his own home".

Our teams work with compassion, determination and heart. We are so proud of everything they do, each and every day 💜

What a strike 🎳

Last week, we re-started our monthly bowling nights for people we support, staff, families and friends alike! The evenings provide a safe space for people to connect, try something different and be part of their local community.

None of this would be possible without the Take a Break Project and our generous supporters.

Sophie has worked at Natural Breaks since 2020, progressing from Support Worker to Senior Support Worker in her time 🚀

For her, one of the best parts about her role is that no two shifts are ever the same. From supporting people to learn a new skill, going on a seaside holiday to the Natural Breaks caravan or getting out into the local community - its never boring!

Reflecting on her own journey, Sophie shared: “The past six years have flown by, and I can honestly say that since working at Natural Breaks, I have learnt more from the people we support than a university degree could ever teach me" ✨
