🍗👩‍🍳 Forget the kettlebell workout - our Basildon customers had a “Cooked Chicken Workout!” 😂💪

The cooking session was all about teamwork, hard work, and having fun together! 🥗🍽️

There was plenty of laughter, teamwork, and a little bit of hard work along the way, but the best part was sitting down together to enjoy the delicious lunch we had prepared. ❤️

Who needs a gym when you have a kitchen full of energy, laughter, and freshly cooked chicken? 😂🍗

Our Basildon customers have been working together to develop their shopping and budgeting life skills, both in our very own Papworth Shop and out in a large supermarket! 🛍️

They’ve been learning how to plan, compare prices, make choices and stick to a budget. They soon discovered that budgeting for lunchtime meals can be a little trickier than they first thought! 🥪🥗

A fantastic opportunity to build confidence, teamwork, independence, and valuable everyday life skills. Well done, everyone, for working together and giving it a go!

💆‍♀️✨ A small group of our Basildon customers took part in an ACL college course, where they had the opportunity to learn new skills in nail painting, and hand/ arm massages!

It's lovely to see how trying new things can open up new opportunities, as one of our customers enjoyed the experience so much that they have since returned to college outside of the centre to study a beauty-based course! 🌸

Experiences like these help build confidence, develop practical skills and encourage our customers to explore their interests and work towards new goals. ❤️

🎃📚 Our Basildon customers have been getting into the spooky spirit with a trip to the local library!

To keep with the Halloween theme, everyone chose a spooky or Halloween-themed book that caught their interest. They then spent time reading as much as they could before sharing what they had read or learnt with each other. 👻📖

Activities like these help develop reading skills, memory skills and build communication skills.🧡🕷️

🐮🎨 Our Basildon customers got creative making their very own paper plate Highland cows!
Using written instructions, everyone worked through the steps to create their cows, practising their ability to follow instructions while getting creative with different materials. ✂️🤎
Activities like these help develop fine motor skills, concentration, reading and comprehension, and independence, while encouraging creativity and building confidence through hands-on learning. 🧡🐮

💻✨ Our Basildon customers have been spending time in our ICT room working on their own personal projects.

Everyone has the opportunity to focus on something that interests them, whether that's practising their computer skills, researching ideas, or creating something of their own. 🖱️⌨️
Working on individual projects helps develop independence, concentration, problem-solving, and digital skills, while allowing our customers to explore their own interests and work at their own pace. ❤️

❤️🏡 Our Basildon customers have been spending time volunteering at a local care home.

During their visits, they enjoy chatting with residents, helping to brighten their day. They also take part in putting on a show for the residents and helping with little tasks, such as serving teas. ☕🎶

Volunteering is a great way to develop confidence, improve communication and social skills, build independence, and make a positive difference in the local community. 🥰❤️

🍝👩‍🍳 Our Basildon customers have been busy in the kitchen making a delicious tuna pasta bake!

Everyone had the opportunity to get involved, practise their food preparation skills and follow instructions. Activities like this help encourage teamwork, develop independence, and teach valuable everyday life skills. 💪✨

Well done everyone for getting involved and creating something tasty!

We’re proud to be taking part in the National Housing Federation’s Supported Housing Week, 19 -23 October 2026.

Meet Emma…

Emma has been living at Vange Place, a supported living accommodation, since 2002 and enjoys the company of friends, family, and support staff. She loves attending all sorts of events and recently had an entertaining night out at her local arts centre where she was treated to a fantastic live performance by an ABBA tribute band. Emma has been telling everyone about the fun-filled concert and how her and support worker Danielle had the best time dancing and singing along to ABBA’s greatest hits whilst waving her hankies in the air.
