We want to celebrate the fantastic Autism Awareness training recently delivered by two of our team members, Katie Rawlins and Sammy Hughes, at a local primary school. Their preparation, care, and thoughtful delivery helped staff gain a deeper understanding of neurodiversity and practical ways to support children and young people.
The feedback from the school has been overwhelmingly positive, and their session has already made a lasting impact. Following this success, Katie and Sammy will be delivering two more sessions, including at another school and a local gymnastics club, spreading understanding and support even further.
As an organisation, we believe in sharing knowledge, supporting the local community, and doing good beyond our day-to-day work. Supporting schools and community settings across Somerset and the surrounding areas is a key part of our commitment to social responsibility. These efforts help strengthen relationships, build understanding, and create safer, more supportive, and inclusive environments for children and families.

We’re very grateful to have received this certificate of appreciation from Friends of Mutake School.

Mutake School plays a vital role in its community, providing education, care, and stability for young people who face significant challenges in their daily lives. The school is more than a place of learning. It is a safe and supportive environment where children are encouraged to grow, develop confidence, and build brighter futures.

We’re thankful to be able to support the dedicated staff and pupils at Mutake School in a small way, and we appreciate the opportunity to stand alongside those working so hard to make education accessible. Our thanks go to the Friends of Mutake School for their kind words and for the important work they continue to do.

Kingsleigh House is ready for their first Christmas, and it looks fantastic.

A big thank you to the team for creating such a warm, welcoming atmosphere for everyone who lives and works there.

We’re feeling very festive here at Kingsleigh House as the tree is up and the home begins to fill with those familiar touches of the season. Life here is shaped by all the meaningful moments we share, and at this time of year they feel even more special.

We’re grateful to our team for the warmth, reliability and good spirit they bring every day. And to the residents, their families and our wider community who support us, stay connected and place their trust in us thank you.

We are looking forward to ending the year in good company, surrounded by laughter and the simple joys that make this season feel so wonderful.

Each year on 1 December, we honour those we have lost, stand with those living with HIV, and recommit ourselves to compassion, education and stigma free care.

HIV has changed profoundly over the decades. Treatment is now highly effective, people can live long and healthy lives, and with the right medication the virus can become undetectable, meaning it cannot be passed on.

In 2023, an estimated 1.3 million people worldwide acquired HIV. Yet only around 77 per cent of people living with HIV globally are accessing antiretroviral treatment, leaving millions without the consistent care that protects health, prevents transmission and supports long term wellbeing.
In some parts of the world, medication simply is not available or affordable. Limited healthcare infrastructure, conflict, poverty and political barriers mean people are left without the treatment that could transform, and often save, their lives.

Progress has been remarkable, but stigma continues to create barriers across communities. In many places, discrimination and fear limit access to testing, treatment and open conversation. Here in the UK, one in five people are still diagnosed late, often because stigma or misunderstanding delays testing until the virus has already begun to weaken the immune system.

There is still work to do. We need to reduce stigma, expand access to care and medication, challenge misinformation and ensure support is available to everyone, regardless of postcode, income or circumstance.

Today is a reminder that education, care and open conversation save lives, and that a more compassionate and stigma free future is possible when we choose it together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate our Gold and Silver Awards at the North Somerset Healthy Workplaces Awards — and to those who cheered us on from afar.

These awards mean a great deal to us. They recognise the work we’ve already put in, but they also remind us of the responsibility we carry to keep building a workplace where wellbeing, inclusion and support genuinely flourish. This commitment is ongoing, and we’re proud to keep doing the work that makes these achievements possible.

A heartfelt thank you to Laura Wright, who delivered an exceptional speech on Elborough’s behalf. She captured our journey with such clarity and compassion, reflecting the dedication of our team and the importance of creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Her warmth and thoughtful delivery represented us beautifully.

Today is a moment to recognise the challenges men can face, including those that aren’t always seen, heard or spoken about.

And it’s equally a moment to celebrate identity, humanity, and the freedom to define manhood on your own terms.
To pause and honour what it means to move through the world as a man — in all its complexity, individuality and quiet strength.

There is no single way to be a man. No checklist. No mould to fit.

We’re incredibly proud of the diverse men across our team who embody compassion, emotional intelligence, courage and steady presence every day. Thank you for the care you bring, the difference you make, and the heart you put into the work we do together.

Today we’re at the North Somerset Healthy Workplace Awards event, celebrating with so many brilliant, values-led organisations, and taking home our Gold Award. 🌟

It’s an uplifting day, surrounded by like-minded businesses who are all committed to building healthier workplaces, stronger teams, and kinder cultures.

For us, this award isn’t just about meeting criteria. It reflects the everyday choices our team makes: supporting one another, prioritising honesty, creating space for wellbeing conversations, and making sure people feel able to bring their whole selves to work.

Being part of this programme has encouraged us to look at what we do with fresh eyes, and today we’re really looking forward to learning from other providers who share our commitment. There’s something powerful about coming together, exchanging ideas, and collaborating on goals that make a genuine difference. And even at Gold, our learning is far from finished. We’ll keep striving to do more — to listen, to adapt, and to stay open to new approaches that genuinely support people.

We’re proud of what we’ve built, and even more excited for what comes next.

Today, we pause to honour the courage of those who served and the sacrifices they made to protect our freedoms. We remember the families and communities touched by loss, and carry their bravery in our hearts with quiet gratitude.
