Okay, so I know I say this every week… but THIS WEEK HAS BEEN FANTASTIC! 🥹💗

Honestly, when I sit back and think about everything we have packed into just one week, I don’t know how we’ve managed to fit it all in! 😂 We’ve had such a busy, exciting and meaningful few days, filled with new experiences, life skills, laughter, confidence-building and, most importantly, making memories together.

We started the week with our amazing trip to the Isle of Wight 🌊, creating memories that I’m sure will stay with us for a very long time. We’ve also been bowling 🎳, getting competitive (as always!), enjoying arcade games 🕹️, going out for lunch 🍽️ and getting out into the community.

We’ve had plenty of opportunities to learn and develop too. From maths sessions ➕, healthy living and making our own delicious smoothies 🍓🍌, to our Next Step transition event evening, we’ve been encouraging everyone to learn new skills, try new things and build confidence in their own abilities.

We’ve also made time to slow things down with meditation and sound baths 🧘‍♀️✨ creating a calm space where everyone could relax, regulate and simply enjoy being in the moment.

And of course, we couldn’t forget hockey! 🏑 Another opportunity to get active, work as a team, have fun and maybe show off a little bit of our competitive sides! 😂

What makes weeks like this so special isn’t just the number of activities we’ve managed to do. It’s seeing the individuals grow in confidence, try something they may not have done before, support one another, laugh together and realise just how much they are capable of.

Every activity, every trip, every conversation and every new experience is another opportunity to develop independence and life skills but it’s also another opportunity to create those little moments that become the memories we look back on. ❤️

I could honestly go on and on because there has been SO much happening this week! It has been one of those weeks where you finish Friday feeling incredibly proud of each and everyone who comes to Spire Inclusion!

It’s been a beautiful week at Spire Inclusion, and we’ve made even more memories together. 💕

And now I’m already excited for next week… because who knows what adventures, opportunities, laughs and life skills we’re going to bring next! 🌟

Another week, another collection of memories, achievements and reasons to be proud. ❤️

Sometimes people see a business and only see what it is today. They don’t always see the years of hard work, sacrifice, worry, passion and determination that went into creating it.

Spire Inclusion is so much more than just a day service to me. It is something I have poured my heart and soul into. ❤️

I have worked in learning disabilities for over 20 years, and throughout that time I have always believed that people with learning disabilities deserve to be given opportunities, choices, independence and the chance to experience life to the fullest.

I spent 3 years at university studying, living on a student bursary, whilst still caring for my three children. I worked hard to gain the knowledge and qualifications that would allow me to make a real difference. I have also had my own struggles in life, diagnosed with spina bifida, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and ADHD. My experience, alongside more than two decades working in the learning disability sector, has shaped who I am and how I want Spire Inclusion to be.

Starting Spire Inclusion wasn't easy. There have been plenty of sleepless nights, challenges, doubts, difficult decisions and moments when I've wondered whether I was doing the right thing. Building something from the ground up takes an enormous amount of time, energy and commitment.

But I am incredibly passionate about what we do.

I didn't create Spire Inclusion to be an 'ordinary' day service. I wanted to create somewhere where people are supported to get out into the community, try new things, develop life skills, build confidence, make friendships and, most importantly, have FUN.

Every achievement, every smile, every new experience and every moment when I see someone becoming more independent reminds me exactly why I started this journey.

Spire Inclusion is my dream, but it is also the result of years of experience, hard work, learning, sacrifice and an absolute belief that the people we support deserve the very best.

It hasn't always been easy… but I wouldn't change what I've built for the world. ❤️

And I'm certainly not finished yet. There is still so much more I want Spire Inclusion to achieve. 🌟
