We would like to give a big welcome to our new member, Luke! Luke met with our Outreach Manager Jo, for an initial visit and a big part of these visits is getting to know people, finding out what people enjoy and looking at opportunities in the ocal community that match peoples interests. Luke showed Jo some of the fantastic artwork and sewing pieces he has created in the past – and they were superb! 🎨🧵 This week, Mencap Liverpool & Sefton has started getting involved with the sewing and cardboard workshops at In Another Place @_inanotherplace helping with preparations for the upcoming Narnia Experience. Knowing how creative Luke is, Jo suggested that he come along and see what he thought. Luke met Jo there and, after a tour with Jennie from In Another Place, he was made up! Luke is now going to get involved with creating artwork and costumes for the production. 🦁✨ A brilliant start, Luke – well done for coming along and giving something new a go. And a huge thank you to everyone at In Another Place for being such a welcoming, inclusive and supportive organisation. We’re really looking forward to seeing what Luke and our other members help to create! ❤️ Read More

🌟 Whqt a brilliant day at the SWAGGA Neighbourhood Health Hub! 🌟 Yesterday we were delighted to be invited along to the @swagga_pcn SWAGGA Neighbourhood Health Hub event at South Liverpool Treatment Centre, where we had an information table sharing all the things happening at Mencap Liverpool and Sefton. What a fantastic event! A huge congratulations to everyone involved in organising such a fun, welcoming and informative day for the local community. 👏 There was so much going on, including a brilliant magician and entertainer keeping the children entertained with card tricks, sleight of hand and balloon animals, alongside live music, face painting and lots of fantastic information stalls. It was great to meet and chat with organisations including The Reader, The Carers Centre, Speke Hall, The SWAGGA teams offering ealth checks, the smoothie bikes and many more organisations. It was also a really valuable opportunity to network, make new connections and talk to lots of people from the local community who came through during the day. A massive thank you to our volunteer Tony and member Rachel who came along and did a superb job representing Mencap Liverpool and Sefton chatting to visitors, talking about what we do and making connections with other organisations. 💜 Great work team — a brilliant day all round! 🙌 Read More

🌟🥗 Healthy Choices, Happy Faces! 💪🍓 🌟 Today our members enjoyed a fantastic Healthier Me nutrition Workshop with Jennie from @mencap 🎉 The session was packed with fun, learning and hands-on activities, helping everyone understand how healthy eating 🍎 and regular exercise 🏃‍♀️ work together to keep our bodies strong and healthy. 🍹 Members were surprised to discover just how much sugar can be hidden in everyday drinks. 🥗 We created our own healthy plates and learned about making balanced food choices. 💪 Everyone got hands-on with the fat and muscle examples, bringing healthy living to life in a fun and interactive way. 🤸‍♂️ We also got moving with some group exercises that got everyone involved. 🍓 And of course, there was a fruit tasting session! Members sampled different fruits, with strawberries being the clear favourite and winning the vote! 😋 It was fantastic to see everyone joining in, sharing their ideas and engaging so well throughout the workshop. 👏💜 We were also delighted to welcome Joey from Royal Mencap, who came along to see the amazing work taking place at Mencap Liverpool & Sefton and meet some of our wonderful members. 🌟 A huge thank you to @jennieempowermentwellbeing and Royal Mencap for delivering such an informative, interactive and enjoyable session. We can’t wait for the next one! 🙌 #healthierme 🍎 #healthyliving #wellbeing 💪 #learningdisability Inclusion Community #healthierchoice 🥗 KeepingActive 🏃‍♀️ StrawberryChampions 🍓✨ Read More
