WOW! WOW! WOW! 🤩
What a fantastic turn out we had for our first sponsored walk and community day on Thursday 15th May.
A massive well done to all our members, staff, volunteers, community, donators and supporters. 👏🥳🎉
All of our walkers completed just over 8miles in total. 😎🥳
We had a great day celebrating at our community cottage with a bake sale, garden games and cheering the walkers at the finish line.
A special thank you to the volunteers from @dwpgovuk @merseysidepolice @stjohn_ambulance @altcar_tranning_camp for your support and participation.

🎶 Out & About with Ste and Paul – Jason Donovan Edition! 🎤🛹
Ste and Paul were back at the Liverpool Philharmonic, this time to see none other than Jason Donovan – and what a night it was! The crowd was in for a huge surprise when Jason rolled onto the stage on a skateboard – go Jason! 🙌🔥
The guys had a brilliant evening, singing along to both old and new favourites. But for Ste, one song stole the show – the iconic "Especially For You", which holds a special place in his heart. 💕
Ste and Paul are no strangers to a great night out – whether it’s live music or sporting events, they’re always there, front and centre. And let’s not forget Ste’s legendary custom t-shirts – always on point and full of personality!
We’re seriously thinking it’s time to start a blog called “Out and About with Ste and Paul” – we never know where they’ll pop up next, but we know it’ll be fun!

At the weekend, our amazing Paul completed his 10th Park Run – what an incredible achievement! 🌟
Paul had never been involved in Park Run before, but last year he took on a new challenge by joining our Couch to 5K programme, funded by Living Well Sefton – and he’s been unstoppable ever since! 💪
This milestone is a brilliant reminder of what can happen when you try something new, set a goal, and keep going! We are all so proud of you Paul – go go go! 🎽👏
Here’s to many more runs ahead! 🏅

2. Supporting our members to grow and thrive by providing a safe space for members to explore, grow and get help during difficult times.
3. Creating a community environment where everyone is welcome -providing a community space that promotes inclusivity and broadens our reach.

Thursday Club has been meeting for 61 years at Mencap Community Cottage and are very much a part of the fabric of the local area in Crosby.
Thursday Club members are a fantastic group of friends - some of our members went to school together, or day services and this is the only place where people get to meet up with friends.
Each quarter our Outreach Manager plans a program of sessions which has been informed by our members at the yearly review.
Members get to get involved with a wide range of things - art, zumba, accessible bikes, silent discos, Boos Zoo visits, coach trips and more.
Every session is supported by a member of our staff team either our Outreach Manager, Progressions Coordinator or Fundraising and Communities Coordinator who work as a team to support our members and team of volunteers to have a fantastic evening each week!
This week we welcomed Su Grainger and some members of her SoSo (Singing Our Socks Off) Choir and it was an absolutely incredible evening!
Su and her team sing with our members and also sing requests and invite our members to sing and dance.
As well as the Choir we had an artistic corner where people got creative and it was a lovely evening.
Big thank you to Su and her Choir and our fantastic team of volunteers who make our Thursday Club possible.

On Wednesday 17th April we held an Open Afternoon at Mencap Community Cottage - everyone was welcome to drop in and find out more about:
⭐️ becoming a member
⭐️ or a volunteer
⭐️ the sessions organised for our members
⭐️ the improvements we have made to our building
⭐️ our future plans to make the building even better
⭐️our community sessions
⭐️our superb Coffee at Mencap
The day was a real success and our members worked incredibly hard showing people around, meeting and greeting people, talking about Mencap Liverpool and Sefton, manning information tables, serving tea and coffee and selling some of the indoor plants we have grown. Thank you to our members for your hardwork.
We were really lucky to have photographer June Poston LRPS come along for the afternoon and take these brilliant photos. Halton Day Service Samba Band opened our event and our members had an impromptu Sumba session supported by our Zumba Instructor Louise Rooney - the photos taken by June truly capture the happiness and confidence people felt.
We are so thankful to the people who volunteer their time to help in such a huge range of ways - thank you, thank you, thank you.
