Join Us for a Special Bake Sale in Support of 1 of our carers and the Stroke Association💜

Wednesday 16th July at our office located at: 188 Copnor Rd, PO3 5DA

All proceeds will go directly to the Stroke Association, who are helping one of our carers through their journey.

We’ll have a delicious spread of treats on offer, including some favourites from last year like cheese twists and cheese & bacon turnovers—plus many more goodies!

I have attached a 'Menu', this is donations that have currently been offered by staff and members of the public to go towards the bake sale, and we are so grateful for all of the love and support so far! If you see something that tickles your fancy, come down to have a try!

We’d love for you to stop by, grab a treat (or two!), and show your support. Every bite will go toward helping a beautiful person we care so much about, and supporting a cause that’s now very close to all our hearts. 💜

Today marks 3 decades of providing care to the people of Portsmouth, and what a 30 years it has been! From starting as a dream in a front room with an advert in the yellow pages, to being an established, accredited family ran care agency rated 'Good' by CQC!

To anyone that has worked for us over these 30 years, Thank you. And to all of the clients we have cared for, Thank you. We wouldn't be able to do what we do without everyone, including the support from the families of our staff and clients.

To celebrate our 30th year, we are running several fundraisers for various charities close to our hearts throughout 2024. If you would like to celebrate with us, keep an eye on our page as we'll be posting about upcoming events!

Who is excited for the summer?

With the summer fast approaching keeping hydrated is so important. Heat stroke and dehydration can creep up on you very quickly. Signs to look out for:

💧Thirst
💧Headache
💧Disorientation
💧Less-frequent urination
💧Dry skin
💧Fatigue
💧Light-headedness
💧Dizziness
💧Confusion
💧Dry mouth and mucous membranes
💧Increased heart rate and breathing

Things you can do to prevent this:
☀️Drink plenty of fluids, and always have spare drinks to hand.
☀️Make sure you are taking in more fluid than you are losing.
☀️Keep to the shade when walking or travelling as much as possible.
☀️Park your cars in shade where possible to keep them cool.
☀️Drink appropriate sports drinks to help maintain electrolyte balance.
☀️Avoid caffeinated tea, coffee, soda, and alcohol, as these can lead to dehydration.
☀️Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat, sunglasses and using an umbrella.

Keep safe everyone and enjoy!
