United Response in York

A classic fairy tale… with a United Response twist!

Read it here: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/f761477439.html

People we support in York have created their latest flip book and this time it’s Cinderella! The group worked together to develop the storyboards then brought it to life through photography and acting, and designed the front and back cover.

It's lots of fun and lots of new skills are learnt along the way.

Let us know if there's a story you'd like to see taken on in the future!

This morning some of the ladies from the Bootshop women's health group visited the mobile breast screening unit in Easingwold. They were shown the x ray machine used and the staff there talked them through what would happen during an appointment, hopefully relieving any anxieties about these checks and recognising how important they are. Thankyou to the breast screening service allowing us to visit.

This is the outcome of last week's "Friday Fun Group" in York. Each week, the group decides what to work on - it could be drama, baking, craft, photography, something creative like this - or just some feel-good pampering!

For this project, the group chose the story to work on and who was going to represent each character. They created a storyboard and then took the photos in front of a green-screen. They then rewrote the original story to match the images, chose the backgrounds and the design for the book.

It's lots of fun, and lots of new skills are learnt along the way and great friendships as well.

Let us know if there's a story you'd like to see taken on in the future!

We are so proud to support Sam, who teaches Makaton on YouTube. We interviewed Sam about her YouTube channel.

She said –

“The best thing about having a YouTube channel is promoting lots of different videos. I find it rewarding and I’m proudest of myself for learning new signs and doing them to camera.”

New to Makaton? Makaton is a form of communication which involves signs, speech and symbols. It is sometimes referred to as ‘key word signing’.

In this video, I show you how to sign Dentist. If you like the video and found it useful, be sure to like and subscribe!
