☀️💛 HELLO SUNSHINE! 💛☀️

The beautiful weather is here, so let’s make the most of those sunny days, lighter evenings and summer memories! 🌻😎

Whether you’re heading to the park, enjoying a family day out, having a picnic or simply relaxing in the garden, there are lots of ways to enjoy the sunshine while keeping happy, healthy and safe.

💦 Keep refreshed – have plenty of cool drinks throughout the day and take a water bottle with you when heading out.

🧴 Sun cream at the ready! – protect your skin with a good SPF and remember to reapply throughout the day.

🧢 Hats on & shades out! – a sun hat, sunglasses and lightweight clothing will help keep everyone comfortable.

🌳 Enjoy some shade – especially during the hottest part of the day. It’s the perfect excuse to find a shady spot, relax and enjoy an ice lolly! 🍦

🏡 Keep things cool at home – close curtains or blinds when the sunshine is at its strongest and let the cooler evening air in later.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Look out for each other – check in with family, friends, neighbours and anyone who might appreciate a little extra support during the warmer weather.

🐶 Remember our four-legged friends too! Keep plenty of fresh water available, provide a shady place to relax and save walks for the cooler parts of the day. 🐾

🌞 Most importantly, enjoy the summer!

Make memories, get outdoors, have fun and enjoy everything these beautiful sunny days have to offer – just remember to stay cool, stay hydrated and stay sun-safe! 💛☀️

🌒☀️ SOLAR ECLIPSE TONIGHT – WEDNESDAY 12 AUGUST 2026 ☀️🌒

Tonight, people across the North West of England will have the opportunity to witness a spectacular partial solar eclipse, with more than 90% of the Sun expected to be obscured at its peak! 🌙✨

⏰ Approximate times for the North West:

🌒 Eclipse begins: 6:13pm
🌑 Maximum eclipse: 7:10pm
🌒 Eclipse ends: around 8:03–8:04pm

For those around Greater Manchester and Liverpool, approximately 91–92% of the Sun will be obscured at maximum – so it could be quite a sight if the skies are clear!

⚠️ PLEASE VIEW THE ECLIPSE SAFELY

👀 Never look directly at the Sun, even when most of it is covered by the Moon.

🕶️ Normal sunglasses are NOT safe. Only use genuine solar eclipse glasses designed specifically for viewing the Sun.

📱📷 Do not look at the Sun through cameras, phones, binoculars or telescopes unless they are fitted with an appropriate solar filter.

🌥️ Cloud cover does not make it safe to look directly at the Sun.

👧🧒 Please closely supervise children and young people who are watching and make sure they understand the importance of protecting their eyes.

📦 If you don’t have eclipse glasses, an indirect viewing method such as a pinhole projector is a great and safer way to experience the event.

🌅 For the best chance of seeing it, try to find somewhere with a clear view towards the western sky.

✨ Enjoy this rare astronomical event, make some memories and, most importantly, keep those eyes safe! ✨

🌞✈️ Holiday memories made!

Some of our incredible young people have recently enjoyed a well-deserved holiday to Lanzarote, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Experiences like these are about so much more than a holiday. They provide opportunities to build confidence, develop independence, try new things, and simply enjoy being young.

We're so proud to see our young people embracing new experiences, making the most of every opportunity, and returning home with smiles, stories, and unforgettable memories. 💙

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this trip possible.

🏁 What a fantastic day! 🏁

Our young people had an amazing time go-karting this weekend, and it was brilliant to see so many smiles, laughter and a little bit of friendly competition!

The feedback from the day was incredibly positive. The young people told us how much they enjoyed trying something new, spending quality time with staff, and sharing the experience with their peers.

Activities like these are about so much more than just having fun. They help build confidence, strengthen relationships, create lasting memories, and support positive wellbeing.

A huge thank you to our fantastic team for making the day such a success. Your encouragement, care and commitment make opportunities like this possible, and it's wonderful to see the difference they make.

We can't wait for the next adventure! 💙
