MAKING MILES MATTER! 💙

For Quarriers Renfrewshire Supported Living Initiative, fundraising is all about fun, friendship and connection.

With people living in their own homes across dispersed locations, opportunities to socialise can sometimes be limited. That’s why the social committee is fundraising to help make a special day out at Five Sisters Zoo possible, including the specialist transport they need. 🦁🦒

On a sunny day in July, everyone came together for a sponsored walk along Largs seafront, putting their miles towards making more memories together.

🦇 A little bit of Gotham came to Glasgow!

William, who is supported at our Glasgow Connect 1 service, enjoyed a stroll into the city centre with his support worker.

While there, William stopped to take some photos with the Gotham set dressing for the upcoming Batman film. 🎬

As William is blind, his support worker described the sights around him and even asked if he could hear the crunch of the fake snow as they walked across it. ❄️

Today is National British Home Child Day in Canada, honouring more than 100,000 children sent to Canada from various areas of the UK between 1869 and 1948.

Quarriers is flying the Canadian flag in Quarriers Village today to acknowledge the children that left The Orphan Homes of Scotland (today known as Quarriers) to a new life in Canada.

Since 2019, the Home Children Canada Organisation Initiative has been commemorating the contribution and sacrifice the children made in helping to build Canada – approximately 12% of the Canadian population is descended from these children.

There is a memorial to the children that is permanently sited in Quarriers Village.

🎨 Time to get creative!

Last week, our Aberdeen Carers Support Service kicked off a new batch of pottery painting sessions with Coastal Creations - Mobile Pottery Studio.

A chance for carers to relax, get creative and connect with others.

Some of the feedback:

🩵 “Didn’t know I was so creative.”
🩵 “A good way to slow my brain down.”
🩵 “Safe space to express yourself.”

We can’t wait to see more creations over the coming weeks! 🤩
