Halloween can be an enjoyable time of year, but it isn’t enjoyable for everyone.

For some people, including people living with dementia, people with learning disabilities, and autistic or neurodivergent people, unexpected visitors, loud noises, flashing decorations and increased activity outside the home can be unsettling or overwhelming.

If you’re celebrating or trick-or-treating this Halloween, please be considerate of the people around you:

🎃 Be mindful that some neighbours may find Halloween difficult
🔇 Keep noise to a reasonable level, particularly around people’s homes
🚪 If a household isn’t participating, respect this and move on
👻 Avoid deliberately frightening people who aren’t taking part
💚 Be patient and understanding. People may experience and respond to Halloween differently.

Everyone should be able to feel safe and comfortable in their own home.

If you’re celebrating this Halloween, have fun, stay safe and please be considerate of those around you.

💚 Today is the International Day of Care and Support.

It’s a chance to recognise the vital contribution of unpaid carers who support family members, friends and loved ones every day.

Caring for someone can be incredibly important, but carers need support too. Whether it’s finding information, connecting with others or looking after your own wellbeing, you don’t have to manage everything alone.

At Cloverleaf, we have a range of services that can help. From dedicated support for unpaid carers to services for people with learning disabilities and neurodivergent people, as well as independent advocacy to help you understand your rights and have your voice heard.

💻 Find out more about our services on our website: https://f.mtr.cool/etioy1g67v

You support others. We’re here to support you. 💚

💚 We’re starting the week with some good news!

We’re delighted to share that Talking Lincs has received funding from the Better Care Fund, operated by North Lincolnshire Council and Community VISION to deliver our Stronger Lives project.

Through Stronger Lives, we’ll be delivering workshops and social activities co-designed by Talking Lincs members, focusing on topics that matter to them, including building confidence, managing stress, staying safe online and employment.

The programme will also create opportunities for people to come together, build friendships and feel more connected to their communities.

We’ve seen the positive difference previous Stronger Lives sessions have made, so we’re thrilled to be able to continue this much-needed support across our Talking Lincs networks. 💚

A huge thank you to the Small Voluntary Sector Grants supporting Better Care Fund outcomes in North Lincolnshire and Community VISION for making this possible.

👀 Keep an eye on our Talking Lincs page and Cloverleaf website for upcoming Stronger Lives activities.

💚 It’s Invisible Disabilities Week UK

This year’s theme, “I Am Invisible No More,” is a powerful reminder that not every disability or challenge is visible.

When someone’s needs aren’t immediately obvious, getting the recognition, understanding and support they need can sometimes be more difficult.

At Cloverleaf Advocacy, we believe everyone has the right to be heard, understood and included. We support people with learning disabilities, neurodivergent people and many others through statutory and non-statutory advocacy, helping people understand their rights and have a voice in decisions that affect their lives.

This week, let’s listen without judgement, be patient and never assume we know what someone else may be experiencing.

💚 Everyone deserves to be heard. Invisible no more.

📣 We're delighted to announce that following a successful retender, Cloverleaf Advocacy has been re-awarded the contract to provide independent advocacy in secure mental health settings across South and West Yorkshire and the Humber.

We’re incredibly proud to have delivered this service for over 20 years, helping people in secure settings understand their rights, have their voices heard and be involved in decisions about their lives.

The new contract will begin on 1 December 2026, enabling us to continue this important work.

Suzi Henderson, CEO of Cloverleaf Advocacy said: "At Cloverleaf, we believe everyone should have their voices heard on decisions that affect their health, care, and wellbeing. In environments where restrictions are placed on people's freedoms, such as secure mental health settings, this can be especially difficult - making advocacy all the more vital.

We’re so pleased to have retained this service. This contract reinforces our long-standing commitment to delivering quality advocacy in the region and ensuring people can truly be heard."

Today is World Mental Health Day, a time to raise awareness of mental health and remind ourselves of the importance of looking after our own wellbeing and supporting those around us.

This year’s theme focuses on being heard. Everyone deserves to have their voice listened to, their concerns taken seriously and their views respected.

At Cloverleaf Advocacy, helping people to be heard is at the heart of what we do. Since 1995, we’ve supported people through a range of advocacy services, helping them to understand their rights, express their views and have a say in the decisions that affect their lives.

Through our advocacy work and wider services, we support people who may face barriers when accessing the mental health care and support they need and are entitled to. We work alongside people to help ensure their rights are respected, their wishes are understood and, most importantly, their voices are heard.
