Here’s some fab pictures of one of our recent cooking sessions at the Community Hub!
After discussing with staff and service users, we’ve decided on the costs for our Wednesday sessions. From October onwards, there will be a £2 contribution toward the ingredients for our 2-course meals, which includes the main dish and a pudding.
Refreshments will continue to be charged as they have been previously.
Thank you to everyone who has participated in these sessions so far!
Walking club recently had the pleasure of exploring the beautiful paths of Shipley Country Park, covering a distance of about three miles. What made this walk truly special was that it was led by one of our members, who is usually quite reserved. However, this time, she stepped up confidently, guiding us all on a scenic route with ease and grace.
As we walked, we were able to enjoy the stunning views, including a glimpse of the old Shipley Hall, a historical gem in the heart of the park. The weather was kind to us, with the rain staying away, making for perfect walking conditions.
After our refreshing walk, we gathered at the park café to enjoy our packed lunches, along with some well-deserved coffees, cakes, and sausage rolls. The lively conversations and shared laughter over lunch made it a fun end to our outing.
Everyone left in high spirits, albeit a little tired from the day’s activities. It was such an enjoyable experience that we’re already planning our return for another day. The group’s enthusiasm and the confidence shown by our wonderful leader made this walk one to remember!
We can’t wait for the next adventure. If you haven’t joined us yet, what are you waiting for? It’s a great way to explore new places and meet friendly faces! Please speak to your Community Support Worker or call us on 01623 397750 for more information.
Our Monday Gardening Club is always a highlight of the week, and this occasion was no different, even with a bit of rain. Although the weather kept us from visiting the allotment, we made the most of the day by heading to Glapwell Garden Centre instead. It turned out to be a wonderful trip!
We spent time browsing the beautiful selection of plants and picked out some vibrant flowers to bring back to Enablement Care. After a bit of shopping, we treated ourselves to a warm, relaxing coffee break before heading back for a hearty lunch. On the menu? A classic ploughman’s lunch, paired with a delicious fruit cobbler for dessert. Everyone enjoyed the meal, and it gave us the energy we needed for the next part of the day.
The weather finally cleared up enough for us to plant the lovely flowers at the front of Enablement Care. It was a satisfying way to end the day, and our new blooms have brought a fresh burst of color to the garden. A big thank you to everyone involved for your hard work and enthusiasm!
We’re looking forward to more gardening adventures soon, rain or shine!

Mark your calendars and get ready for a day filled with laughter, fun, and community spirit. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
AW and Anthony were at the allotment last week, while many were away on trips and holidays. After a two-week break to focus on the summer fair, AW wasted no time returning to work, giving the plants a much-needed drink in the warm summer sun.
Meanwhile, I took on the task of uncovering our cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, which had become hidden beneath a surprising amount of undergrowth. We weeded diligently to free our beloved plants.
We paused only a few times to hydrate with water, and by the end of the session, it was rewarding to step back and see how our patience and care were paying off—the plants were thriving!
Exhausted and hot, we returned to Enablement Care, where we were greeted with an ice-cold glass of tropicalade, a delicious tuna salad, and a refreshing strawberry mousse—a perfect way to unwind from the day’s efforts.

It was another productive day with AW, AB, TG, Lisa, and Anthony. We made significant progress in clearing the thick weeds and nettles along the walkways, making the area much more pleasant and safer to walk through. Lisa, AB, and TG helped plant radish seeds in the raised beds and harvested some lettuce for Wednesday’s salad. AW prepared a small plot and planted sweet corn, while AB prepared the ground and planted two courgette plants.
We wrapped up our efforts at Enablement Care, where we recharged with a delicious lunch of meatloaf and dessert.
