Hazel Grove Carnival

July 16, 2016 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Free

Independent Options is delighted to once again be taking part in the Hazel Grove Carnival parade!

To be held on Saturday 16 July, staff, service users, and supporters of Independent Options will be donning our sequins as we transform into glittering Rio carnival stars!

The event at Torkington Park begins at 10am, with the parade setting off at 11.30am from a nearby location.

If you would like to join us as we walk the parade route in fancy dress and with our spectacular float, please get in touch! We can provide a number of tutus and face paints, but please feel free to embrace the theme of the carnival and dress up using your own fancy costumes!

For more information, or if you would like to join in the carnival fun as we make our way around Hazel Grove please contact Lucy on 0161 456 6502 or email info@independentoptions.org.uk

Kevin's Story

Kevin uses Independent Options’ Short Breaks service. His Mum, Jude, tells of how the experience has helped her family.

“Having a disabled child totally changes the dynamics of family life. With all the meetings, hospital appointments and such it can be draining on everyone. When Kevin is at Hallfield guest house I am safe in the knowledge that he is with staff who genuinely care. I also know that he always has a great time and he can do what he chooses to do safely – and without his Mum there too! To have this service is so valuable as it gives me as a parent that time to do things I can’t when Kevin is at home, and I don’t feel guilty leaving him because I know that he really enjoys his time there with the staff and other guests.

“I adore my son and would not change him or his disability as then that would not be Kevin, but to have these respite breaks is wonderful for both of us as it means that I can recharge my batteries too. A service like the one offered through Independent Options is genuinely priceless.”
