Independent Options holds its annual Easter Egg Hunt on 3rd April. The event promises to be a fun-filled family day out, with face painting, refreshments, a bouncy castle, garden games and the hunt itself! There may even be a special guest appearance from the Easter Bunny himself!
General admission is free, and taking part in the hunt will cost £3 per child, or £5 for two children.
Jason, a Shared Lives Service User: “Shared Lives is a place you can go to get help. You can make and meet new friends, and they have good carers. You get to go on holiday and share your life with someone else. My life is better because of Shared Lives because I have a home that is safe, calm and easy to live in. Shared Lives is helping me to be more independent and gain skills for the future. I am being helped to be a part of my community and I am supported when I am faced with challenges. Talking with my carer helps me to meet those challenges and it gives me confidence.”
Shared Lives Carer: “I have worked in care services for many years, but there is nothing more rewarding than welcoming someone into your own home, and sharing everything in your lives. The relationship that builds between you is something special. No amount of money could buy that.”
You can help us to provide the right support for families and carers to cope better with the daily challenges they face.
