Kai from Basildon Day Opportunities did an amazing job confidently leading a bullying awareness presentation! 👏

They even created a fun word search featuring key bullying terms to help everyone learn in an interactive way. Kai stayed fully engaged throughout, joined in meaningful discussions with peers, and showed a great understanding of the topic.

By popular demand from our South Cambridgeshire customers, photography has officially made it onto the new timetable! 📸

This week they’ve been out and about at Unity Campus, capturing everything from beautiful flowers to bicycles and cars. Along the way, they’ve been exploring zoom lenses, experimenting with shading, and sharpening their creative eye.

Our Basildon Day Opportunities customers had a fantastic pamper morning at ACL Essex yesterday! 💅✨

Service Manager Maggie and Activities Facilitator Kayde joined them for VIP treatment from the nail tech students, who offered relaxing hand and arm massages and a choice of gorgeous nail colours.

The students were so friendly, skilled, and welcoming, our customers loved every minute and gave the experience a 10 star rating. They’re already asking when they can go back.

Customers from our Huntingdon Day Opportunities service proudly took part in the annual Huntingdon Town Flipathon this week! They first enjoyed watching the Chain Gang Race, featuring civic leaders from across the town, then formed two teams: The Pink Papworth Ladies and Papworth Trust’s Flipping Fantastic! Armed with frying pans the teams were tasked to walk (not run!) the course, flipping pancakes at ‘flipping points’ throughout the race. Our customers had a great time and were thrilled to receive their well-deserved medals and a chocolate treat at the finish line!
