Capable Communities New Activity Launch

This month we kicked off our new schedule of activities with a casual launch event at Flash Musicals theatre. It was a relaxed afternoon where our team and members gathered to chat, enjoy some board games, and share a few tasty bites. One of the highlights? A trio of our wonderful clients whipped up homemade pizzas, all cooked to perfection on a neat little pizza BBQ!

We took our feast outdoors, soaking up the fresh air, and were treated to a surprise show performance that had many of us up on our feet! The day was filled with fun, laughter, and a real sense of community—just the kind of afternoon that helps us get to know each other better.

We’re thrilled about the new activities on offer and can’t wait for more days like this in the future!

A Memorable Day at Ruislip Lido

On May 15th, 2025, our capable communities came together for a heartwarming day trip to Ruislip Lido. Our aim was to bring joy and connection to individuals who often experience loneliness and isolation, offering them a break from their day-to-day routines and an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and each other’s company.

The weather was a bit gloomy, with temperatures hovering around 14 degrees, but that didn’t dampen our spirits. We spent most of the day on the sand, strolling along the river, chatting in the calming sounds of the sea. Despite the chilly weather, the atmosphere was warm and lively thanks to the company of friends new and old.

Later in the day, we took refuge inside the cozy pub, where we shared a lovely dinner accompanied by hot drinks to warm us up. The indoor setting was filled with laughter, singing along to music, playing games, and even dancing to our favorite tunes. The afternoon was spent engaging in joyful activities, walking on the sand, and sharing stories that strengthened our sense of community.

Though the weather was less than perfect, the day proved that warmth, connection, and good company can turn any gloomy day into a memorable one. We left Ruislip Lido with smiles, new memories, and the simple reminder of how valuable community and companionship are. We look forward to many more days like this, filled with laughter, friendship, and the beauty of the sand.
