Exciting Progress in Our Clinically Ready for Discharge Pilot!

Over the summer, our pilot project in partnership with Bristol City Council has gained real momentum, with successful placements made and more in the pipeline.

We’re proud to be working collaboratively to help ease pressure on hospital beds and support smoother transitions into our supported living services.
Together, we’re making a meaningful impact for service users and the wider system.

At The Park, food is about more than just meals, it’s about confidence, independence, and community. Our training kitchen gives service users the chance to learn cooking and baking skills, try new recipes, and enjoy creating together.

🎨 Creativity in Action at The Park 🎨

At our recent Summer Event, residents and staff came together to create a beautiful collaborative art piece in the sunshine. The energy, colour, and imagination that went into it really showed how powerful art can be in bringing people together.

Did you know we have a dedicated art space at The Park? A place where service users can explore creativity and express themselves.

✨ At Maples, being United isn’t about everything going perfectly, it’s about how we stick together when things don’t.

Because just like recovery, life doesn’t always go to plan, but together, we find a way. 💙

At The Park, we look beyond behaviour to see the trauma underneath, because trust is often the first thing our residents have lost. Through consistent, compassionate care and trauma-informed practice, we help rebuild that trust step by step. 🧠💙

🌞 The Park Summer Event 2025 🌞

We recently had our first ever Park Summer event, and what a celebration of preparation, passion, and teamwork! Staff pulled together to run the BBQ, while residents and staff brought energy, creativity, and joy to the day.

From music and decorations to collaborative art created in the sunshine, every contribution added something special. The atmosphere was relaxed, positive, and full of connection, with people chatting, laughing, and dancing together.

At Maples, being compassionate is more than kindness, it’s the foundation of recovery.

It’s listening without judgement, respecting independence, and recognising the courage it takes to face the day.

🌿 Open-Mindedness at Maples 🌿

Being open-minded at Maples means meeting people where they are, without judgement, without assumptions. It’s how we make sure every person feels seen, heard, and supported.

“Staff need to have an open-minded approach towards Service Users… We have no right to judge, it’s about being open to what people have to say, encouraging conversations, and reminding them it’s person-centred care. It’s them that’s important.” – Maples Support Worker

From support sessions to personal training, open-mindedness helps us stay adaptable, compassionate, and truly person-centred.
