Every week, the Day Club clients at Windmill Hill City Farm enjoy a wander around the beautiful gardens and farmyard 🌼

We've written a blog sharing a little more about just how important getting out into natural spaces can be: https://www.bestlife.org.uk/blog/green-dementia-day-club-city-farm 🌳

'The farm’s community allotment provides an array of different herbs and flowers with unique smells that often become talking points or prompt childhood memories of cooking or gardening.

A whiff of rosemary, for example, can unlock a memory of a family Sunday Roast - it’s astounding to witness how a simple sensory prompt invites the sharing of stories and memories.'

Unpaid carers and paid carers share many of the same struggles. An industry that understands the stresses, yet still expects so much.

Whether you're caring for a parent at home or working as a professional carer, the pressure is real. Long days, high expectations, and not always enough support to match.

We cherish these opportunities to have these deep conversations about the beauty and reality of care, and can’t wait to share more about how we’re connecting with the community!🫶

We had too many wonderful photos from our Beach Day at the Winterbourne Day Club - a montage was needed!🏖️

Our Day Club team truly went the extra mile last week to transport our clients to the seaside. 🏝️

With windbreakers, inflatables and ice cream, not to mention newspaper wrapped Fish n' Chips for lunch, it was an utterly joyous day.⛱️

💛 Introducing Pam & Albi!

We were lucky enough to spend some time together and learn about how they’ve built a great working relationship. Over the last 2 years Pam has supported Albi and helped him to maintain real independence within his home. 🤍

Such a privilege to sit down with a hot drink to hear stories and knowledge from Albi’s life, and also see how much he appreciates Pam and Best Life.

This is what companionship looks like!

Our latest episode features Alice, who knows firsthand what it's like to juggle a career while caring for someone you love.

The guilt of not always feeling fully present, to the moments that remind her why it's worth it.

If you're balancing work and caring, supporting someone who is, or just want to feel a little less alone in it - this conversation is for you. 💛

We enjoyed a wonderful walk around Windmill Hill City Farm this week at our Day Club.🪴

Watching week by week as the flowers bloom and the fruit ripens is such a special thing to experience and forms a core part of our session.🌸

Clients enjoyed smelling the delightful fragrances of the community garden and pointing out different fruits and vegetables.🍎

Companionship looks different for each client, what remains the same is our proactive, supportive and personalised approach.

While many clients find companionship support helpful to keep on top of household tasks like shopping and cleaning, Best Life Companions skills and knowledge mean that we can also assist with navigating care options and empowering individuals to live vibrant, independent lives.

The example below shows just how powerful companionship can be in practice and is a real client story, anonymised.

If you're wondering whether our Companionship service could benefit you or a loved one, do reach out and we'd be happy to chat through how we can help: https://www.bestlife.org.uk/contact

We support adults of any age living with a diagnosis, after an injury or in later life.

🎵 Meet Lloyd! 🎵

We sat down with Lloyd this week for a chat - and ended up with much more than a story!🎶
