Yesterday, the people we support at St George's enjoyed a brilliant day out at Smithills Open Farm.

The people we support and team at St George's decided they wanted to take 10 trips in 10 days over the summer, and Smithills Open Farm was one of the places they chose to visit.

Everyone had a great time meeting the animals and seeing the farm. Ned said, "I loved the goats eating off my hands!" 💚

Keep an eye on our social media to see where their next trips take them!

Michael visited Costa Coffee in Swinton, excited for coffee and cake. Whilst enjoying his treats, he joked, "If I were a superhero, my power would be cake eating!"

We have to agree with you, Michael! 😂 Coffee and cake are a firm favourite.

Supporting people to maintain their independence and continue doing what matters most to them is what person-centred support is all about.

Through our “You Said, We Did” forums, the people we support share the things they would like to do and we work together to help make those ideas happen.

After saying they wanted to spend more time cooking at Helen’s Kitchen, everyone was excited for another visit last week.

This time, quiche and beans were on the menu, and the Brierley chefs were involved every step of the way. Preparing the ingredients, cooking the meal, serving it up, and enjoying the food they had made together.

It was a great morning full of teamwork, independence, and enjoyment. Another fantastic example of “You Said, We Did” in action. 💛
