“I see it like I’m coming home.” 💙

For Brenda, our Elizabeth Activity & Care Centre is more than a place to visit. It's a place to belong. 🥰

Brenda comes along twice a week, enjoying everything from quizzes and bingo to ping pong, sing-alongs and even silent discos! 💃

But it's the people who make it special.

“I've made quite a few friends here, and the staff are lovely. We're like a family. As soon as I come in, I feel the love and I can't recommend it enough.”

Brenda has even been recognised by churchgoers after appearing in a video of our silent disco session on Facebook!

“Not bad for 92!” she says. 🎶

For Brenda, our Centre is a place where she feels supported and surrounded by friends. 🌟

We're so glad you're part of our family, Brenda! 💙

A special visitor at our Tesco Social Group in Stairfoot! 🚒

Our service users welcomed a visit from South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, who delivered an informative and really useful talk about staying safe from fire in the home. 🌟

The session covered lots of practical advice, including:
🔥 Smoke alarms and kitchen appliance safety.
🔑 Simple bedtime routines, such as keeping house keys in the same place each night to make it easier to leave the house in an emergency.
👂 Specialist smoke alarms for people with hearing difficulties, including those with strobe lights and vibrating pads.
♿ Advice for people with mobility or sight difficulties.
🚨 What to do if a fire breaks out.

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue also offered free home safety checks for anyone who would like one, helping people feel safer and more confident in their own homes. 💙

A huge thank you to the team for taking the time to visit our group and share such valuable advice!

Caring for someone can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. It's important to remember that support is available for you, too. 💙

Whether you're looking for practical support, a friendly chat or the chance to meet people who understand what you're going through, you don't have to do it alone. 🤝
