☀️💙 Summer at Sam’s Place | The Power of Breathing 🌿

Something a little different during our summer sessions was a very special visit from Breathe with Zoe, giving our young people the opportunity to discover the power of something we all do every day – breathing. 💙

Zoe introduced the group to breathing techniques and helped them explore how taking time to focus on our breath can support our mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. 🌿✨

Trying something unfamiliar can sometimes take a little courage, so we were incredibly proud of our young people for approaching the session with open minds, giving it a go and embracing a completely new experience. 👏

At Sam’s Place, we want our young people to have opportunities to discover different ways to support their wellbeing, build confidence and develop skills they can take with them beyond our sessions.

A huge thank you to for sharing your time and knowledge with us, and an equally big thank you to our young people for being willing to step outside their comfort zones and try something new. 💙🌿

☀️💙 Summer at Sam’s Place | Strike! 🎳

Another absolute favourite with our young people is a trip to Walterz for tenpin bowling – and it certainly brings out everyone’s competitive side! 😄🎳

From the moment the first ball rolls down the lane, the excitement begins. Everyone wants to get the highest score, knock down those pins and, of course, achieve that all-important STRIKE! 🎉

One of the loveliest things to see is how supportive everyone is of each other. No matter whose name is on the scoreboard, when that STRIKE appears, you can guarantee there will be cheers and celebrations from the whole group! 👏🙌

It’s that wonderful mix of friendly competition, encouragement, laughter and friendship that makes these outings so special.

Another brilliant summer activity and lots more happy memories made together at Sam’s Place. 💙🎳

☀️💙 Summer at Sam’s Place | Doing the Things We Love! 🎨🎲

Crafts, games and plenty of time outdoors played a huge part in our summer sessions at Sam’s Place. ☀️🌳

From painting and mindful colouring to a competitive game of Bingo or Jenga, there was always something for everyone to enjoy! 🎨🖍️🎲

These activities might seem simple, but they are some of our young people’s favourite things to do. They provide opportunities to be creative, relax, have fun, spend time with friends and, most importantly, enjoy being themselves. 💙

Whether concentrating on a piece of artwork, waiting for that all-important Bingo number, trying not to topple the Jenga tower or simply enjoying time together outdoors, there have been lots of smiles and laughter along the way. 😊

At Sam’s Place, it’s all about giving our young people choice, variety and a space where they feel happy, supported and included. 💙

☀️💙 Summer at Sam’s Place | A Very Cool Experience! 🍦

There’s nothing quite like ice cream on a summer’s day – especially when you’ve helped to make it yourself! 😋

One of our wonderful sessional workers, Catherine, brought along her Ninja ice cream maker to give our young people the chance to experience making their very own freshly made ice cream.

Everyone took turns using the machine, learning how it worked and, of course, enjoying the best part – tasting the finished result! 🍦😊

It was another simple but special opportunity for our young people to try something new, get involved and learn through experience – with plenty of smiles along the way.

A huge thank you to Catherine for bringing in her machine and creating another fun new experience for everyone at Sam’s Place. 💙👏

☀️💙 Summer at Sam’s Place | Learning, Supporting & Having Fun! ⚽🏀

Having our outside space to enjoy this summer has given our young people lots of opportunities to get active, have fun and learn new skills together.
From basketball and football to games, activities and friendly competitions, there was always something going on! 🏀⚽🏆

What made it even more special was seeing our young people supporting and encouraging one another as they learnt the different sports. Whether it was celebrating a great shot, helping someone master a new skill or simply cheering a friend on, there was a wonderful sense of teamwork throughout. 👏💙

At Sam’s Place, it’s about so much more than taking part in an activity. It’s about creating a safe and welcoming environment where our young people can build confidence, develop friendships, try new things and know that there is always someone there to encourage them.

Support, encouragement and nurturing each other – that’s what Sam’s Place is all about. 💙

☀️💙 Summer at Sam’s Place | Let the Games Begin! 🏆

Things got a little competitive at Sam’s Place this summer when our young people took part in their very own Mini Sports Day! 🎯⚽🏀⛳

There was plenty of fun and friendly competition as everyone got involved in darts, football, golf, basketball and lots of other games and activities.
It was fantastic to see everyone having a go, cheering each other on and, of course, trying their very best to claim those all-important bragging rights! 😄👏

At the end of a brilliant day, everyone was thrilled to receive a certificate and prize to celebrate taking part. 🏅🎉

Lots of smiles, plenty of laughter and another fantastic day of summer memories at Sam’s Place! 💙

☀️💙 Summer at Sam’s Place | Lunch & Live Music! 🎶

Another lovely summer outing for our young people was a trip to visit our friends at The Grange for lunch.
After enjoying lunch and spending time catching up with everyone, there was an unexpected opportunity for the members of our Sam’s Place Singers to take centre stage! 🎤🎶

They were asked if they would perform a few songs from their song list – and, of course, they were only too happy to oblige! 😊👏

It was wonderful to see them sharing their love of music and entertaining everyone.

A huge thank you to our friends at The Grange for the warm welcome, lovely lunch and a fantastic afternoon. 💙
