🌟 September is FASD Awareness Month 🌟

At Cambridgeshire Shared Lives, we know how important it is to recognise Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and the unique support needs it brings. Our amazing carers work every day to provide the right support, helping people live full and independent lives.

We’re proud to champion the voices of people with FASD – making sure they are heard, valued and celebrated. 💬✨

Together, we can build more understanding and inclusion across our communities. 💙

✨ Today is National 'Just Because' Day – the perfect excuse to do something kind for yourself, simply because you deserve it! 💛

At Cambridgeshire Shared Lives, we know how much love, energy and care our carers give every day. That’s why we always encourage you to take time for your own wellbeing too – whether it’s enjoying a cuppa in the sunshine, going for a walk, or treating yourself to something that makes you smile. 🌿☕🍰

Remember, looking after yourself helps you continue the amazing support you give to others. And we’re here to support you every step of the way. 💫

So go ahead – do something today just because! You’ve earned it. 💐
