✨🎄A festive visit to Poplars Garden Centre🎄✨

We loved spending time at Poplars Garden Centre recently - soaking up all the Christmas cheer, beautiful displays and festive atmosphere. It was a great opportunity to get out and about locally, chat to people, and share how Good Life Sorted Helpers are nearby to offer friendly, practical support when it’s needed.

It’s also a lovely place to enjoy a visit with a Helper - whether for a festive wander, a coffee, or simply getting out and about together!☕🍰✨

Local Business Spotlight: The Dunstable Centre!☕✨

We popped into the Dunstable Centre this week and were met by such friendly, welcoming staff - everyone was incredibly helpful, and the facilities were spotlessly clean and easy to access.

You can now pick up a Good Life Sorted leaflet from the main counter, the library, or Citizens Advice if you’re visiting.

If you or someone you know is looking for companionship or practical support in Dunstable, our friendly Helpers are nearby and ready to help. Please give us a call on 01234 386807 to have a chat. 💛

Come and join in the fun today at FLAG Bedford Christmas Party!

FLAG Bedford do such incredible work supporting local families and individuals, and it’s always a joy to see the community come together at events like this. There’ll be festive nibbles, plenty of Christmas cheer, and their much-loved Christmas raffle - with some really lovely prizes up for grabs. 🎁✨

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of getting to know FLAG Bedford this year, and earlier in the year we even shared a blog about the wonderful work they do and the people behind it. If you haven’t had a read yet, it’s well worth a look to see just how much heart goes into everything they offer: https://goodlifesorted.com/flag-beford-community-spotlight/

Christmas tunes on, tree lights twinkling, and a homemade cake in the oven…

Our lovely Helper Julie spent a beautiful morning with Pat, helping her keep the Christmas traditions she loves - traditions she’s determined to continue for her son, even though she can no longer see them herself.

They baked a Christmas cake, decorated the tree, and filled the house with festive warmth.
Julie always loves her time with Pat, and today felt extra special as they prepared for the Christmas Day her son will spend cooking her dinner.

A reminder that the best moments aren’t just made… they’re shared.

Love, tradition, and a little helping hand. ❤️✨

Caring for a loved one can be incredibly meaningful, but it can also feel overwhelming or isolating at times. That’s why we absolutely love the work that Age UK Milton Keynes are doing for local carers. 💚

Their monthly Carers Cafe offers a safe, friendly space for unpaid carers to take a break, connect with others, and feel supported. This month they’ll also have a special guest from the Alzheimer's Society.

If you or someone you know is caring for a loved one, this could be a really lovely way to recharge and meet others who understand.

Huge thanks to the team for creating spaces like this for our local community. 💙

Caring for someone can be rewarding, but it can also feel isolating.
Our Carers Café is a safe, welcoming space for unpaid carers to relax, share experiences, and find support.
Special guest - Alzheimers society
🫖 Warm drinks, friendly faces, and a listening ear await you.
📅 9th December 10.00-12.00pm
📍 The Peartree centre, MK6 3EB
Because carers need care too 💚

The wonderful team at Sue Ryder St John's Hospice have shared some gentle and genuinely helpful tips for navigating grief throughout the festive season:
