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

Jason's Story

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.”
