Recently Clare has visited both Cheshire Oaks and Blackpool, and has met some familiar faces along the way! I wonder where you will be off to next Clare? Thanks to Karla for providing the pictures.

🎉 Celebrating Success at BRC! 🎉

Our service users have proudly received their certificates for completing the 7 week English course: Ascentis, Entry Level 1 Award in Independent Living Skills.

The award was internally assessed by tutors from Sefton Community Learning Service, externally verified by Ascentis, and is Ofqual regulated — ensuring nationally recognised standards of achievement.

👏 Well done to our amazing service users — you are truly inspiring, and we couldn’t be prouder of your achievements!

BRC Day Trip To Blackpool!

15 service users braved the weather once again for a fun-filled day in Blackpool. We kicked things off at an all-you-can-eat restaurant, where the variety of dishes was endless — and the desserts were a clear highlight, with apple crumble and custard winning everyone’s hearts. Next stop was Coral Island, where the arcade games kept us entertained and Stephen took a brave leap onto the ghost train for the very first time!

As night fell, we strolled along the promenade to admire the famous illuminations in their full glory, snapping plenty of photos to capture the moment. Before heading back, we made a quick detour to a gift shop, treating everyone to fudge and sticks of rock for the coach journey home. To top it all off, our driver took us down the entire promenade so we could enjoy one last dazzling view of the lights before saying goodbye to Blackpool.

Here are a few comments from the day:

"I enjoyed the meal and tasting all the different foods. I had 2 main meals then cheesecake and Blue ice cream for dessert.

I enjoyed the arcade trying to win a teddy.

I went on a Ghost train for the first time it was scary I also enjoyed the lights."

Stephen

"I loved the meal it was lovely, I enjoyed the lights the walk was long but the girls where really patient with me. The fudge and the rock was a really nice gesture."

Berni

"On the 14th November 2025 I attended a day trip with the B.R.C we got a coach to Blackpool when we arrived the weather was awful but we made the most of it we went for a lovely meal in all you can eat Chinese buffet, we took a walk along the pier and went to the gift shops and bought some gift, we then walked over to the arcades I had a game of bingo, we then headed to the coach we went through the lights on way home.

Thank you for all your help and support and for a brilliant Day you all go above and beyond for me and help me to feel better."

Expect attended the North West In Bloom Awards at Bolton's Toughsheet Stadium on Tuesday. Delighted that Expect's Bowersdale Resource Day Centre (BRC) was recognised as having a 'Level 5- Outstanding' Garden. All the hard work of our service users and Day Centre staff have paid off.

Our Gardening Project only began 3 years ago, we have risen every year from Level 3 to Level 5 ever since. Hopefully with continued funding and support we can further develop our Garden and continue to use the project to give a positive impact to our service users mental health, team work and growing independence.

Well done everyone!

A massive thank you to Utilize Plc for their generous donation of laptops to us at Expect Limited. The computers will be going directly to our service users, to help them become more digitally included. Thank you both Gibbie and Mark for working with Kevin our Business Development Manager and for making the process so straight forward.

The laptops will make a massive difference to our service users lives in being able to be taught how to book appointments online, order their food shop and stay connected with friends and family amongst other things.

Thanks as well to our corporate partner and team at Lift Off IT Services who have configured the laptops, installed Anti-Virus and will support these devices going forwards.
