Christmas celebrations

Last week on a very wet Thursday, Mid-Cornwall Lifestyles enjoyed a really fun Christmas celebration day at Trethorne Leisure.

We all enjoyed some bowling, games, bingo and a rather scrumptious buffet. We’ve found out that we have some pretty good bowlers amongst us!

Mid-Cornwall Lifestyles would like to wish all of our clients, their families and our wonderful Support Workers a very happy Christmas!

The Simon Slatter Award.

In memory of our wonderful trustee Simon Slatter who passed away last year, Mid-Cornwall Lifestyles with Simon’s family have created an annual award in Simon’s name.

Simon was an amazing man, who despite his significant physical disabilities always had an infectious sense of humour and the determination to live his life to the max.

This year our first Simon Slatter Award was awarded to David. David has worked incredibly hard in achieving his goals and to top it all has been accepted to study a law degree next year!

Congratulations David!

Welcome Autumn!
A stunning time of year over the next few months if you are out and about.
However, with Halloween coming up, this can often bring concerns for people living alone or elderly. We have a few tips below:WelHalloween can be great fun, especially for kids. And lots of us enjoy seeing local children out trick or treating in their costumes. However, for some people, it can be a worry – especially if they’re home alone and concerned about callers after dark.

While none of us wants to spoil the fun, we also shouldn’t have to feel scared or anxious in our own homes. Here are some simple things we can all do to make sure Halloween remains good fun for everyone.

If you're concerned about staying safe:
Always put the door chain on and look out of the window or spy hole to see who's there before opening the door.
Take particular care if there's more than one person on your doorstep.
Only open the door if you feel safe to do so. If you're in any doubt or don't feel safe, don't – it's fine NOT to answer the door if you don't want to.
If you're really worried, invite a friend or relative around and spend the evening together.
