Pendleside Hospice Fundraising Walk

Thank you to everyone who took part in yesterday's walk in memory of Dr Yarwood. Through your generosity and support, we raised £215 for Pendleside Hospice. The walk was an opportunity to remember a much-valued colleague whose warmth, kindness and dedication touched so many lives.

As Medical Director and a dedicated Psychiatrist, Dr Yarwood's compassion, professionalism and genuine care for others has left a lasting impact across Kemple View. She is greatly missed, but her legacy of kindness and human connection lives on.

Our thoughts remain with her family, friends and loved ones. Thank you again for helping us honour her memory while supporting an important local charity.

Earlier this week, we held the Summer Food Festival at Kemple View! It was lovely to see 21 of our patients and lots of staff members enjoying foods from around the world in the sunshine. The aim of the day was to learn about different cultures whilst tasting cuisines from around the globe, all while enjoying music from our resident DJ!

Thank you to all for making the day a success,

Service users attended Kemple View Jobs Fair this week. 15 patients attended to browse the available real work roles on offer, from practical skills assistant and hen care to events assistant and local lived experience partner. It was great to see lots of motivation amongst the service users, with a whopping 40 applications completed in total! The Job’s Fair is held every 6 months to ensure that all service users have the opportunity to apply for a real work role, aiming to develop skills for the future and be paid the standard minimum wage rate for their hard work. Good luck to all of our service users with their upcoming interviews for real work roles!

All 9 of the chicks moved from the main shed area to their new coop this week with the support from staff and patients. During the afternoon a total of 7 patients attended and helped with carrying the chicks to their new area, cleaning the area and also putting tags onto their legs. All staff and patients thoroughly enjoyed this!

Mental Health Awareness week 11th – 17th May

EVENT: 12th May

Due to the unpredictable British weather, this session was held indoors and focused on therapeutic, wellbeing-centred activities designed to promote mindfulness, emotional resilience, and positive mental wellbeing. Participants engaged in a range of guided “Mindfulness and Mood Boosting” activities, including therapeutic colouring, interactive wellbeing quizzes and crosswords, and discussions around mood-boosting foods and healthy lifestyle choices.

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Week, the session encouraged individuals to explore small, meaningful actions that can support emotional wellbeing and foster hope during challenging times. The session also highlighted the importance of connection and shared experiences, reinforcing that while individual self-care is valuable, collective support and community engagement can have a powerful positive impact on mental health.

Home Safari – 14th May

On the 14th May, Home Safari visited the site again, providing a therapeutic animal interaction session for both service users and staff. Despite the unpredictable British weather and the need to utilise the gazebos throughout the session, 9 service users attended and actively engaged with the experience.

Animal-assisted activities are widely recognised for their therapeutic benefits. Sessions such as these can support individuals in a variety of ways, including encouraging social engagement, reducing feelings of anxiety, and promoting relaxation in a calm and supportive environment.

The session was well received by those who attended, with service users demonstrating enjoyment, engagement, and positive social interaction throughout.

The Home Safari team are scheduled to return in September, and we look forward to continuing the therapeutic benefits these sessions provide — hopefully with improved weather conditions next time.
