Learning for Life - Growing Up and Keeping Safe

As part of our continuing support for our 18yrs+ members, our employment & enterprise lead, Lucy McLaren, is hosting a series of mini-seminars delivered under the title Learning for Life - Growing Up and Keeping Safe. These informal and interactive weekly sessions cover a wide range of topics centred around the personal development of our young adult members.


Learning for Life is a project created by our friends at Learn and Thrive and covers personal health, emotions, relationships, and appropriate behaviour. Learn and Thrive have built this programme to support young people in primary and secondary school and beyond. The Learn and Thrive team explain that Learning for Life provides critical teaching on key social and emotional development areas, and we're delighted to say that our members, pictured below, engaged brilliantly, with everyone demonstrating a better understanding of the subject areas discussed over the course of the sessions.


As an organisation driven to support and empower, we felt so fortunate to have access to such a wonderful array of print and digital resources to support the effective delivery of such vital life skills to our membership.

Darcey's Daily Walk Challenge for October

By Rebecca Goodier • October 6, 2025
"Darcey is going to walk for 21 minutes for 3 weeks in October to support DS Cheshire as her challenge for Down Syndrome awareness month!  Darcey isn’t one for walks, she loves coming in from school and chilling out doing creative stuff, so this may not sound a task to some, but for Darcey this is a physical and mental challenge. Please support her on this personal challenge which I know she will smash and all in a great cause."
