📢 Lunch Club Update – Important Notice

We’re so sorry to say that this month’s Lunch Club will be cancelled. Our lovely Angie is having to undergo an emergency operation tomorrow morning for a detached retina, and we want to give her the time she needs to rest and recover.

We know many of you were looking forward to coming, and we truly appreciate your understanding.

✨ The good news?
With all being well, we’ll be back in December for our Christmas Lunch Club, and it’s going to be a wonderful, festive one! 🎄✨

Please keep Angie in your thoughts, and we can’t wait to see you all next month.
Thank you for your kindness, patience, and continued support for our little community.

Warm wishes,
The Riverside Lunch Club Team 💜

🌼 Self-Care Sunday: You’re Allowed to Pause

💜Tip: Pausing doesn’t mean giving up; it means gathering strength.

💜Why it Matters:
Continuous caregiving without breaks leads to fatigue, mistakes, and emotional depletion. Intentional pauses restore energy, improve focus, and increase patience. Recognising the need for rest is a sign of strength, not weakness.

💜Practical Guidance:

Schedule intentional pauses, even 10–15 minutes, during your day.

Use the time for breathing exercises, stretching, or simply sitting in silence.

Avoid using pause time for checking emails or chores — make it truly restorative.

💜Reflection for the Week:
“This week, notice how pausing affects your energy, mood, and interactions with clients.”

💜Use a gentle timer or reminder to ensure you actually take your pause without guilt.

🎄 Garden Centre Glee! 🚜✨

Our lovely client L had the best time getting out and about, exploring all the magical Christmas displays at our local garden centre. From sparkling tinsel to festive tractors, she was in her absolute element and the smile says it all!

She enjoyed it so much she didn’t want to come home 😂

Moments like these are what make our days so special. A simple trip out can spark joy, create memories, and bring that little extra bit of magic to someone’s week.

We love seeing our clients light up and we feel privileged to share these experiences with them. 💜

🌟 Today we celebrate a very special woman — and a huge chapter in Riverside’s story. 🌟

Today is Bev’s retirement day, and even saying that doesn’t feel real.
This isn’t goodbye, because Bev will always be part of Riverside. She’ll still be at our lunch club, still bringing her warmth, still making people smile just by walking into a room.

From day one, Bev has brought the Riverside magic. We’ve grown together, supported each other, and built something meaningful side by side. Her strength, her heart, and her care have touched every client, every colleague, and every part of Riverside.

Seeing all the handwritten cards from our clients today — every message saying how much she will be missed — shows exactly the impact Bev has had. The love for her is real, and it’s huge. ❤️

Bev, thank you for everything you’ve done for Riverside, for our team, and for our clients.

We love you forever and always. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement — you’ve earned every moment. 💛✨

🌹 Transgender Day of Remembrance 🌹

Today, we pause to honour the lives of transgender people lost to violence, hate, and discrimination. It’s a solemn reminder of the realities many trans people face — and of the urgent need for compassion, visibility, and change.

🇬🇧 Some Important Facts from the UK

In the year ending March 2024, there were 4,780 hate crimes recorded in England and Wales where the motivating factor was someone’s transgender identity.

In the previous year (ending March 2023), this number was 4,732, representing an 11% rise in reported transphobic hate crime.

Despite these numbers, many stress that hate crime is under-reported. Studies suggest that a significant proportion of trans people don’t feel safe reporting abuses to the police.

The increase in such crimes highlights that transphobia remains a very real threat — fuelled by prejudice, misunderstanding, and sometimes political rhetoric.

💜 Why This Matters
Transgender Day of Remembrance is about more than just statistics — it’s about real people whose lives were cut short simply because of who they were. Each name we remember is a call to action: to listen, to support, and to stand in solidarity.

We believe in a world where:

Trans people are protected, respected, and free from fear.

Everyone no matter their gender identity can live openly and authentically.

Communities come together to challenge hatred, dismantle stigma, and build environments of safety and care.

At Riverside Support Service, we stand with the trans community today and every day. We are committed to providing safe, affirming, and compassionate support to all individuals — especially those from marginalised communities.

Let us remember, honour, and amplify stories. And let us never forget that love, understanding, and solidarity are among our most powerful tools for change. 🌈

✨ How lovely is it to see what a bit of pampering can do? ✨

Here’s our beautiful client E, glowing after her fresh haircut and honestly, the smile says it all. 💜

At Riverside, we treasure these little moments more than anything. A simple trim, a fresh style, or even just a moment of feeling cared for can make the world feel that bit brighter.

Seeing our clients happy, confident, and enjoying themselves is exactly why we do what we do.
These are the moments that remind us how important it is to celebrate the small joys in life, and to make every person we support feel valued, special, and uplifted.

We’re proud to work with amazing local professionals, including our own nail therapist offering manicures and pedicures in-salon or from the comfort of your home.

💜 We absolutely adore these moments at Riverside.

International Men’s Day – Celebrating & Supporting LGBTQ+ and Trans Men

Today, on International Men’s Day, we recognise the incredible contributions of men in all communities, while also shining a light on the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ men, including trans men, who often face additional barriers and stigma.

Many men in LGBTQ+ communities experience challenges such as:

💛 Mental Health & Isolation
LGBTQ+ and trans men face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and su***de, often due to societal stigma, discrimination, and a lack of safe spaces to open up.

🏳️‍🌈 Discrimination & Social Barriers
From school to work, many experience bullying, exclusion, harassment, and inequality — which can affect education, employment opportunities, and confidence.

🩺 Health Inequalities
Men in LGBTQ+ communities, including trans men, often face barriers to accessing healthcare, including male-specific health checks, sexual health support, and affirming care for trans individuals.

🚨 Violence & Exploitation
Higher rates of hate crimes, domestic abuse, and targeted violence affect LGBTQ+ men disproportionately, and many survivors feel unsupported.

👨‍👦 Family & Social Support
Challenges around parenthood, acceptance in families, or legal recognition for trans men can be emotionally and practically difficult.

💔 Intersectional Struggles
Many LGBTQ+ men also navigate issues such as homelessness, social isolation, and marginalisation, which can compound health and wellbeing challenges.

📰 Stereotypes & Misrepresentation
Negative portrayals, invisibility, or harmful stereotypes in media and society affect self-esteem and reinforce stigma.

💙 At Riverside Support Service, we are committed to creating safe, supportive spaces for all men.
We aim to listen, validate, and provide care that respects identity, promotes wellbeing, and helps every man feel seen and supported.

Today, let’s celebrate the lives, resilience, and achievements of all men and remember to reach out, check in, and continue breaking down barriers together.

Happy International Men’s Day. 🌈

🌈 Transgender Awareness Month – Listening, Learning, and Supporting 🌈

November is Transgender Awareness Month — a time to celebrate transgender people, listen to their stories, and raise awareness about the challenges they face every day. 💚

Real-life experiences remind us how important understanding, kindness, and support are:

💬 “Having people around me who listen without judgment has made all the difference.”

💬 “Small acts of respect, like using the right pronouns, make me feel seen and valued.”

💬 “Being accepted for who I am gives me the confidence to live my truth every day.”

At Riverside Support Service, we are committed to creating a space where everyone feels safe, respected, and celebrated regardless of gender identity. Supporting our clients means listening to their stories, walking alongside them, and championing inclusion in every way we can.

This month, take a moment to listen, learn, and show your support — because every story matters. 🌈

🌼 Riverside Caregiver Tip of the Week:

💜Use the Client’s Preferred Name💜

Tip: Always address clients by the name they prefer, whether it’s a nickname, full name, or title.

Why: Using their preferred name instantly creates familiarity, respect, and trust.

Practical: Check notes, ask politely if unsure, and consistently use it in conversation.

Reflection: “Notice this week how using the client’s name changes the way they respond and engage with you.”

🌬️ World COPD Day – Breathing Life Into Awareness

Today, on World COPD Day, we shine a light on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) a condition that affects breathing and daily life for millions. 💜

Living with COPD can make even simple tasks feel challenging, from climbing stairs to enjoying a walk outside. That’s why awareness, understanding, and the right support are so important.

At Riverside Support Service, we help our clients with COPD:
💜 Stay active safely – gentle exercises and daily routines that support lung health
💜 Manage symptoms – medication reminders, breathing techniques, and practical guidance
💜 Enjoy life fully – outings, social connection, and compassionate care tailored to each individual

COPD doesn’t have to mean isolation. With the right support, people can continue to live independently, safely, and confidently.

This World COPD Day, let’s take a moment to learn more, offer understanding, and support those living with COPD every day. 🌸

🌼 Self-Care Sunday: Celebrate Small Victories.

💜 Acknowledge the small wins, making someone smile, completing a task, or simply showing up. 💜

💜 Why it Matters:
Caregiving involves many invisible, often unrecognized moments of impact. Celebrating small victories boosts self-esteem, motivation, and positivity. Recognising progress, even tiny steps, combats burnout and encourages mindfulness.

💜 Practical Guidance:

Keep a journal or note app to track wins from the week.

💜 Verbally acknowledge your successes: “I helped today, and that mattered.”

Share positive moments with colleagues or a friend to reinforce your achievements.

💜 Reflection for the Week:
“Notice how celebrating small wins affects your outlook and energy for the upcoming week.”

Pair celebration with a small treat — a favourite tea, a walk outside, or a quiet moment of gratitude.

💜 Hannah’s puppy, Jeremy, has been spreading smiles today!
He couldn’t resist giving a few kisses to our wonderful client, who absolutely adores animals of all kinds. 🐾

At just 19 weeks old, Jeremy is still very much in his playful puppy stage, full of energy, curiosity, and affection.
It’s amazing how much joy and comfort a visit from a furry friend can bring.
Moments like these remind us how special the bond between people and animals truly is and how a little wagging tail can brighten everyone’s day. 💜
