We frequently hold 'Coffee Afternoons' and other opportunities to get the people we support together. Skills for Care had approached us about filming a short video case study and wanted it to be done whilst we were doing an event or activity, so we thought this could be another great opportunity for a fun gathering.
So we decided on an event, Manor Community's Got Talent!

So on the 28th March, we invited everyone we support to come into our offices and if they wanted, to perform any talents or skills. We had loads of great performances including musical talent (guitar playing, singing and rapping), poetry, active art and much more!

We were amazed by what everyone brought to the table. We couldn't choose one winner so everyone was awarded with certificates and medals!
The Skills for Care filming crew made sure everyone was involved by doing a fun exercise to discuss positive experiences in our care.

When the people involved were asked what they thought of the day, a respondent said "It was a great success all-round."
It is always great to bring the people we support together to have some fun and celebrate their talents and we hope to run another similar event in the future!
