🧦 Odd Socks at In Caring Hands 🧦

🤗 In Caring Hands (ICH) provides specialist care for younger people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). Based in Wells, Somerset, we offer care for service users in their own homes.

💁‍♀️ Odd Socks Day marks the start of Anti‑Bullying Week and is a simple, visible way to champion what makes each of us unique and stands against bullying. This year it takes place on Monday the 10th of November https://anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk/anti-bullying-week-2025/odd-socks-day #:~:text=Odd .

👏 For many people with PMLD, being seen as “different” can mean facing low expectations or exclusion. At ICH we reject that view. Our team meets the differing needs of our service users with compassion and dignity, creating environments where everyone belongs, enjoys meaningful activities, and is supported to take part in life in ways that matter to them.

🫂 On Odd Socks Day we celebrate individuals and the unique personalities, talents, and friendships that make our community richer.

😁 Inclusion for people with PMLD 😁

🤗 At In Caring Hands (ICH) Somerset, we provide compassionate, person-centred care for young adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). We aim to foster safety, dignity, and meaningful connections in the community.

🫴 People with PMLD are often overlooked due to assumptions about their abilities. Inclusion means seeing the person first, adapting environments to reduce sensory barriers, while inviting participation that honours individual preferences.

🚥 ICH carers prioritise sensory profiles and, where possible, trial equipment in advance. We use preferred tactile communication and prepare individuals with pre-visit social stories, brief hosts, request adjustments, and model inclusive interactions.

🎵 We balance safe practice with enabling experiences and train our staff in sensory-aware approaches, widening participation through local partnerships.

👉 Join Our Team - We are growing and need more carers who value kindness, dedication, and empathy. Both day and night shifts are available. For more information or to apply, visit our website: https://www.in-caring-hands.co.uk/

Halloween at In Caring Hands

🤗 Here at In Caring Hands in Somerset, we care for young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).

👻 This Halloween, we’ll be having lots of fun with our service users, including baking, pumpkin soup making, sensory pumpkin crafts and games they can enjoy.

🚥 Our carers create activities that focus on sensory engagement, predictability and choice, using lights, textures, smells and simple cause‑and‑effect games to spark curiosity and encourage interaction.

🪴 Our team of carers is expanding, so if you’re a compassionate, caring person, why not consider joining us? Find out more about ICH by visiting our website: https://www.in-caring-hands.co.uk/

🛻 Everyday adventures with In Caring Hands Somerset 🌳

👐 In Caring Hands (ICH) Somerset is dedicated to offering community-based, compassionate, and person-centred support for young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). Our primary goal is to enhance wellbeing and encourage a sense of independence for each individual we support.

🎨 Enriching activities and personalised support

At ICH, we believe in providing far more than just basic care. Our service users are encouraged to participate in a diverse range of activities designed to be both enjoyable and beneficial. These activities include sensory story sessions, cookery, arts and crafts, movement to music, gardening, music making, and outings to local parks and activity centres. We also attend family-friendly events such as monster truck shows, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to engage with the wider community.

Every activity is carefully tailored to suit each person’s unique sensory profile. Our carers take the time to understand individual preferences and needs, recording preferred calming strategies in personalised care plans. This approach ensures that each day is not only safe, but also meaningful and joyful for those we support.

👉 Join our compassionate team

As our organisation continues to grow, we are looking for compassionate carers who share our values of kindness, dedication, and empathy. We have both daytime and nighttime shifts available. If you are interested in joining the ICH family and making a positive impact, please visit our website for further information and to apply: https://www.in-caring-hands.co.uk/

🍎 Apple Day fun at ICH 🍎

🤗 Here at In Caring Hands in Somerset, we care for young adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).

🍏 On Tuesday the 21st of October, it’s National Apple Day, where all things apple are being celebrated. We love joining in the fun with our wonderful service users, from making colourful prints using apples as stamps to baking apple cakes; our carers love creating hands-on activities that encourage sensory engagement and bring joy.

🍽️ We also prioritise nutrition: high-quality, nutritious meals and snacks are so important for our service users as they cannot provide this for themselves. Apple Day is a great time to think about this by adding plenty of healthy, fresh ingredients.

🔎 ICH is growing, and our close-knit, dedicated team is looking for compassionate carers to join us and make a difference every day. Learn more about us and our services by visiting our website: https://www.in-caring-hands.co.uk/

🍰 Cooking up fun times for people with PMLD at ICH 🍰

🥄 At In Caring Hands (ICH) we care for young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). This month National Baking Week runs from the 14th to the 20th of October and National Chocolate Week follows from the 16th to the 22nd of October, so at ICH we’ll be turning kitchens into sensory playgrounds!

🍫 Baking and chocolate projects provide rich, multi-sensory experiences that are easy to adapt and highly rewarding. The smells, warm textures and tastes, as well as the sight of colourful decorations, all provide meaningful sensory input that can have a calming, stimulating or soothing effect. Such experiences encourage people with PMLD to engage, express their preferences and feel connected.

☺️ By providing activities like this, we open up the world for people with PMLD, bringing them together and helping them to build social connections, confidence and emotional regulation. We celebrate by enjoying what has been created and giving applause. We also share photos of every achievement with our service users.

👉 Do you fancy turning chocolate frosting into smiles? We’re hiring compassionate, fun people in Somerset, so bring your warmth, creativity and a love of cake! Learn more on our website and help us bake brighter days together.

🍚 ICH and National Porridge Week & World Porridge Day 🍚

🍂 As Autumn approaches and the days grow cooler, we are reminded that many of the young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), whom we support, are unable to tell us when they are cold or hungry.

🥣 National Porridge Week takes place from October 7th to 15th, and World Porridge Day is on October 10th, further reinforcing this reminder.

☺️ At In Caring Hands, we aim to minimise any communication barriers that could affect the comfort of our service users. We achieve this by utilising specialised communication techniques and conducting regular comfort checks. These incorporate tailored routines, including consistent mealtimes and warm snacks, to ensure that everyone is comfortable, nourished and safe.

🤗 We also remember the bigger picture that World Porridge Day highlights: food security and dignified care for everyone, everywhere.

🥳 Celebrating 10 Years of In Caring Hands 🥳

🤩 Celebrate with us! This month marks a decade since we first began our journey, and what a journey it’s been! From a grassroots team of dedicated carers to a thriving family of professionals, we’ve grown together, learned together, and supported hundreds of wonderful individuals with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).

🚀 Over the past ten years in the South West of England, In Caring Hands has expanded. Now we offer a respite centre for short-stay breaks and an outreach day centre in Cornwall, plus community care services in Somerset.

🙌 We’re so proud that our family of carers has delivered more than 500,000 hours of tailored support, celebrated thousands of achievements, and built lasting bonds with service users and their loved ones.

😍 Looking ahead to the next ten years, we’re not stopping here! At In Caring Hands, we will continue to grow our teams of passionate, skilled carers, explore new therapies, build on community collaborations and so much more!

🤗 Our vision remains the same: person-centred care that empowers every individual to be cared for, express themselves, and thrive in a supportive community.
