Sports Day!

On 24th June some of our service users went to the Disability Sports Awareness Day at Nantwich and here our some pictures...

They got to try lots of new sports aswell as some old favourites, and below are Chris Craven playing football. (We think he should have been in the World Cup team, we might have won!) Also Claire Brandon, playing table tennis, and Kevin Moss and Jonathon Oswell having a go at archery.

They all enjoyed their day a lot. More pics to follow on next post.....

Goody boxes for our armerd forces....

Yesterday, everyone at the Old Fire Station sent off two boxes that will be sent on to cheer up our armed forces out on the front line. One was designed for a woman, one for a man and they included things like toothpaste, deodorant, dice, dominoes, cards, pens, envelopes and paper - anything we could think of that they might like. We wish them all well, and a safe return home.

Rosie Kelsey, Paula Radcliffe, Julie Lomax and Liz Rowlands can all be seen joining in - Ashley Wilson was keeping out of trouble and minding the handbags for the ladies!
The dance took place at 20 past 12 on Friday 2nd July to help raise the profile of the London 2012 Olypic games. Dances were arranged all across Cheshire, and nationally too and it looks like everyone had a lot fun.

More Swimming Success!!

Well done again to our swimmers in the gala last weekend at Sheffield National Games - all the top swimmers were there.

Independent living.....

Rosie Kelsey and Paula Radcliffe moved into their new home in Helbsy on 6th April, which was a very big step. They had a housewarming party on 29th May and friends, family and neighbours all had a good time. The ladies helped prepare a wonderful buffet which everyone enjoyed, and

Paula organised all the music including their favourite, Abba. The ladies both attend Frodsham Community Day Services. They are settling in well into their home and loving their new independence, including having their own front door keys.....
