76 miles, teamwork and a fantastic fundraising effort! 🚴‍♂️ 💜🧡

Our Toynton sports students have spent the term planning a Bike-a-thon, which they successfully completed today!

From 9.30am to 3.45pm, a member of the college was on the bike at all times, helping the team pedal their way to an incredible 76 miles and raise a fantastic £180.50! 👏

A special shoutout goes to Josh, who raised an amazing £100 all by himself! 🏆 In recognition of his outstanding effort and hard work, Josh was awarded a certificate. Well done, Josh!

A huge well done to all the sports students for their planning, teamwork and dedication to making the Bike-a-thon a success. What a brilliant achievement! 🚴‍♀️🎉

Emily’s Wonderful Evening at the Embassy Theatre 🎭

Emily enjoyed a lovely evening out at the Embassy Theatre with her 1-1 support to watch Emerald Storm. She had a fabulous time, singing and dancing along and really getting into the atmosphere of the performance.

Before the show, Emily enjoyed a drink, and during the interval she treated herself to an ice cream. Emily also bought a programme to take home as a special memory of her wonderful evening.

It was lovely to see Emily enjoying herself so much, joining in with the music and making the most of this special experience. She had a fantastic time and made some lovely memories to look back on! 💚🍀💜

Cooking up a witch’s feast! 🧙‍♀️🎃👻

Bailey, Luke and Bradley have been busy in the catering kitchen, preparing a spooktacular spread of Halloween treats for last night’s Monster Ball! 🎃

From homemade doughnuts and toffee apples to chocolate brownies and fairy cakes, the team put their baking and decorating skills to the test to create a delicious feast for our students and people we support 🧁🍎🍫

Lecturer Amber said: “The students have all had a brilliant day with their buffet preparations and have showcased their skills in decorating and baking. They have worked very well and I am proud of their effort.” 💜

A huge thank you to Bailey, Luke and Bradley for all their hard work in making the Monster Ball extra special. We hope everyone enjoyed the spooky treats! 👻🧡

Passing the torch at Project SEARCH! 🤝✨

One of the most powerful parts of the DFN Project SEARCH Supported Internship Programme is how it creates a community of support. We recently brought together current intern Dan and graduate intern Emma, to share experiences, exchange advice, and celebrate how the programme unlocks incredible career pathways.
Here is how this inspiring mentor-mentee link-up unfolded:

🌱 Learning from Experience: As a current intern, Dan loved stepping out to the Heritage Centre during induction and is focusing on building communication and problem-solving skills. Graduate intern Emma was able to pass on first-hand advice about adjusting to full-time workplace hours and navigating rotations.

💼 The Pathway to Progress: Emma shared her journey of graduating from the Project SEARCH programme and successfully progressing into a North East Lincolnshire Council (NELC) Apprenticeship, including the milestone of handing in her very first piece of apprenticeship coursework!

🚀 Supporting Long-Term Dreams: Inspired by Emma’s success, Dan shared his own long-term goal of becoming a comic book author. The duo discussed the value of the "earn-while-you-learn" model, showing how a strong foundation with North East Lincolnshire Council can support personal ambitions outside of work.

This link-up proves that Project SEARCH isn't just a one-year programme - it's a launchpad for future success!

Building Skills for Work and Life at the Eco Centre, Skegness!

Last Tuesday, a group of people we support from Toynton began their Outdoor Health & Safety Course at the Eco Centre in Skegness, starting an exciting journey of practical learning, teamwork and personal development.

After an introduction to the site, everyone got stuck into a team-building challenge to create a log wall, while learning about personal safety, PPE, safe manual handling and the importance of working together.

The session provided a fantastic opportunity to develop valuable, transferable skills, including communication, problem-solving, risk awareness, confidence, independence and responsibility. These are all important skills for everyday life and future employment. 💪

The first phase will run until Christmas, with three further phases planned through to July 2027. This exciting programme will help build a longer-term Skills for Work and Life pathway, giving people the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, grow in confidence and reach their potential.

👏 A brilliant start, with everyone getting involved, supporting one another and enjoying learning in the great outdoors!

We're already looking forward to the next session in November! 🌱

A fantastic day at RAF Coningsby!

Dave chose to visit RAF Coningsby during his 1:1 time and was very excited about his day out, making sure he had everything he needed, including his chair and binoculars!

On arrival, Dave chose some food before settling down on the grass with a perfect view of the runway. It wasn't long before three Eurofighter Typhoons took off, and Dave excitedly jumped up to watch them through his binoculars, shouting, *"Oh my gosh, look at them, they're right above me, it's the Eurofighters!"*

Dave got to see the aircraft fly overhead numerous times and even watched five of them land and taxi past him. With his binoculars ready, he eagerly waited to hear them approaching, making sure he didn't miss a moment.

One of the highlights was when Dave waved at the pilots as they passed by, and one even waved back! 👋✈️

Dave was absolutely delighted, and it was wonderful to see him enjoying something he loves so much.

**What a brilliant experience and a day to remember for Dave!** 💜

Come on Boston United! 🖤⚽💛

Dan and Steven are big football fans and recently shared their wish to experience watching a live match. Together, they explored local football teams and decided that Boston United was the team for them!

With tickets booked for some upcoming games, the excitement was building for their first match. They kicked things off with a visit to the club shop, where they each bought a Boston United shirt before enjoying a meal and chatting about their score predictions and favourite players. 👕🍔

Once inside the ground, Dan and Steven were in full football spirit, cheering on their team and applauding every goal. The atmosphere was amazing, and they loved every minute of the experience!

Steven described the game as “great to watch”, while Dan said it was “amazing”. Both were really grateful to staff for listening to their wishes and supporting them to plan and enjoy something they love. 💛

Boston United might not have won the game, but they've certainly won Dan and Steven's support! 🙌

Bring on the next game! ⚽

Fun, thrills and plenty of screams! 🎢

Jack and Steven had a fantastic evening at the fun fair, enjoying a selection of rides of their choice, including the dodgems, Xtreme ride and Twisters! 🎠

Both were loving the thrill of the rides, with lots of screaming and hands waving in the air 🙌

Jack was particularly brave, trying a new ride that quickly became his favourite. He enjoyed it so much that he went on it three more times! ⭐

The evening was rounded off perfectly with a visit to the burger van and sweet truck 🍔🍬

Jack said it had been a great night and he wants to go again next year, while Steven said the rides were so much fun!

Making memories, trying new things and having a brilliant time! 💜

Alex had a brilliant weekend, starting with a trip to the bowling alley! He chose Ant and Dec as the names for the scoreboard and was ready for some friendly competition. 😄 He said he really enjoyed the bowling, having a laugh with staff about the scores and was pleased he had asked to go.

Next, Alex had another idea! He wondered if the Christmas decorations might be out at a garden centre, so he was supported to visit Anwick Garden Centre to have a look. 🎅✨

He was so excited to see the Christmas trees and decorations, becoming animated as he explored them. He even picked up some early Christmas gifts! 🎁

For lunch, he chose fish and chips from the menu and was very impressed by the size of his fish, saying it was the biggest he had ever seen! 🐟🍟

Alex said he had really enjoyed his day out and thanked staff for taking him. It's lovely to see him making choices, following his interests and enjoying new experiences! 💜
