We are delighted to be supporting this project 💜

🫶 Do you know or use a local business that makes living with a disability easier?

🫡 Are you a carer and want to share an accesible place that gives you a safe space?

🤓 Can you help us organise an event to showcase these great businesses?

This is a small project to share safe spaces, inclusive venues and say thank you for supporting the community. It aims to be inclusive of all disabilities (visible and invisible).

If you want to get involved but not sure how you can help, please contact Kelly.

Or if you want to post ideas below please feel free 🙏

Please see our events tab for further details. If you have any questions or concerns please let us know.

We look forward to seeing you 😊

A huge thank you to the Rishton Knit and Natter group for their incredibly kind £100 donation to our organisation 💜

I met with Alison on Friday and we shared our IBD stories, a reminder of how powerful connection and communication really are 💪

Feeling the January blues?

Some people find January a bit flat after the colour and excitement of December. Or maybe you've been in a flare. We thought of some tips to boost your mood and energy this winter (you might have more):

🚶‍♀️Move – 20 mins of brisk walking or dancing can lift your spirits. We have an event in a couple of weeks too!
🛏 Sleep well – Aim for 6-8 hours, limit screens before bed.
🍉 Stay hydrated & eat well – Water and balanced meals make a big difference for us.
💡Light & warmth – Try a dawn alarm or SAD lamp, cosy blankets help too.
💜 Connect – Social time is vital for wellbeing. Our meetings are back at the end of the month.
🎶 Music & plans – Uplifting playlists and dates in your diary can keep you positive.

If you need mental health support there are some useful resources from the MH foundation:

Our publications are used by businesses and organisations across the UK, helping thousands of people manage and maintain their mental health.
