What a fantastic afternoon! 💙

A huge thank you to our friends at NEO Community for joining our ladies to spend the day together in New Brighton. From fish and chips to ice creams, singing, laughter and plenty of chats, it was wonderful to see new friendships being formed and so many smiles throughout the day!

Partnerships like this show just how important community connections are in tackling loneliness and bringing people together.

We can't wait to welcome the NEO ladies to Gautby soon and look forward to many more shared adventures together!

Laughter, Friendship and Ice Cream by the Sea!

Today our wonderful Neo Ladies had the pleasure of meeting up with the fabulous ladies from Gautby - Play, Youth & Community for a lovely afternoon in New Brighton. Together we enjoyed traditional fish and chips, seaside ice creams, plenty of chats, lots of laughter and even a few songs along the way! 🎶🐟🍟

It was so special to see new friendships forming and old memories being shared, proving once again that a simple trip out can mean so much in bringing people together and reducing isolation.

We can't wait to welcome the Gautby ladies to Neo Community for a visit very soon, and our ladies are already looking forward to joining you all for bingo next week!

A huge thank you to the team at The Seaside Cafe New Brighton, New Brighton, for looking after us so well and helping make the afternoon such a lovely experience.

Here's to more friendship, more singing, more chips, and many more shared moments together. 🌊🍦💙

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Sheila Henry, a much loved friend of Gautby’s and a dedicated Trustee for many years.

Sheila gave so much of her time, energy and support to our charity over the years. She was always willing to help wherever she could and was one of our biggest supporters, regularly attending our events and championing the work we do. Her kindness, enthusiasm and commitment make a lasting difference to Gautby and to so many people connected with the charity.

Sheila’s friendship, guidance and support will be greatly missed by all of us. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for Gautby throughout the years.

Our thoughts are with Sheila’s family and friends at this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Sheila. Thank you for everything. 💙

🎉 STAFF APPRECIATION POST!!! 🎉

We’re incredibly lucky to have a team of amazing Play & Youth Workers who go above and beyond every single day for the young people they support.

Their passion, dedication, energy and care make such a difference, creating opportunities, building confidence, inspiring young people and making every session a place where they can thrive.

The impact they’re making and the pure Gautby joy they’re spreading across the Wirral is nothing short of incredible. 💙✨

We couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of them. Thank you for everything you do - your hard work never goes unnoticed.

WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
