🌟🥰 VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH – OUR LOVELY JAKE! 🥰🌟

We are so proud of our wonderful Jake, who is doing amazingly well! 🤗

Jake is such a reliable volunteer who is always keen to learn new things and challenge himself. Although he can feel a little anxious about going on the till, he always says “YES!” when he is asked if he would like to serve our customers. 🥹👏 That willingness to give things a go is something to be so proud of!

Even more wonderfully, Jake shared that his social skills have improved and are now much higher than they used to be. ❤️ It’s fantastic to see his confidence growing and to know how far he has come!

Well done, Jake! Keep believing in yourself, keep learning and keep being your lovely self. We are so proud of you and feel very lucky to have you as part of our team! 🌟

Congratulations, Jake, on being our Volunteer of the Month! 🏆

🏆 Volunteer of the Month – Connor! 🏆

A huge congratulations to Connor, our Volunteer of the Month at the Phab Shop! 💜

Connor has only been volunteering with us for a short time, and starting something new like this was a really big step for him. But from day one, he’s got stuck straight in, worked incredibly hard and quickly become a brilliant part of the team.

We’re really proud of how far he’s come already and the effort he puts in every time he’s with us. 👏

And, of course, Connor has discovered the quickest way to become popular with the team… he always brings biscuits! 🍪😂

Well done Connor — thoroughly deserved! 💜🏆

🎉 **14 YEARS OF THE PHAB SHOP!** 🎉

Today marks 14 years since the Phab Shop first opened its doors! 💜

Over those 14 years, the shop has become so much more than just a charity shop. It’s been a place for people to gain experience, build confidence, make friends, learn new skills and feel part of something.

A huge thank you to every volunteer, trainee, customer, supporter and friend who has been part of the Phab Shop over the years. We genuinely couldn’t have reached 14 years without you.

Here’s to 14 years of the Phab Shop - and hopefully many more to come! 🥳💜

🎨🌙 **PHAB EVENING IN OLD LEIGH!** 🌙🎨

We had such a lovely Phab Evening on Wednesday, getting creative down in **Old Leigh**!

We tried our hand at **texture printing**, using things we found around us to create different patterns and impressions, along with **play dough, ink pads and notebooks**. It was great fun experimenting with all the different textures and seeing what everyone came up with! 🍃🪵🖌️

And to make the evening even more special, we also managed to get some **great views of the eclipse** while we were there! 🌙✨

A really relaxed, creative evening with a little bit of something different — just what Phab Evenings are all about. 💜
