Paul and Rebecca “you got to have a good sense of humour. Laughter is like medicine.”

That’s it for April 2025! Marking an incredible month at Paul’s Place. Together our Easter Raffle raised a whooping £411 with ‘thanks’ to Chipping Sodbury Lions Club for donating a massive Easter egg. Nursing Home managers, Maggie and Catherine, presented their £70 cheque raised at Blossom Fields Nursing Home. Our social media appeal to donate fabrics and stuffing for Rebecca’s handmade pillow making project was a massive success. Our small charity truly benefits from the community getting behind us. Thank you! 🙏

🎉 In April, we raise awareness about Limb Loss and Limb Difference, while celebrating the strength and resilience of the community. 🎉 Bruce, aged 56, was highly active. He ran half marathons, he enjoyed swimming, and cycled in all weathers. Bruce also worked in insurance and for the prison service. But his world fell apart when Bruce developed Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which led to both legs being amputated after catching an infection. To read the full story, please visit ⭐ www.paulsplace.org.uk ⭐ ⭐ Then click on news. ⭐ You'll hear about the challenges as well as the achievements in Bruce's story. #LLLDAM #limblosslimbdifference
That was a bumper to bumper March, which went quick, but look at what we did! We got messy with Pancake Toppings, danced to Benny Hayes from the Music Train. Enjoyed the great outdoors with our Gardening Club starting again. We loved our evening program this month at The Grapevine Brasserie. We’re a social bunch who know how to have fun. Please get in touch if you fancy volunteering or choose Paul’s Place as your Give Back Days. We also have a Support Worker vacancy, so spread the word or apply. A special “thank you” to David Lloyd Club in Emersons Green. We’re a perfect match as we share the same values in providing social activities that connects people. You raised a whopping £4k plus for our charity, and that’s just the start! #hire #charity #workforus #cerebralpalsyawarenessmonth💚

Every year we mark #cerebralPalsyAwareness during #cerebralpalsymonth in March! It's an opportunity to show our support by wearing green, sharing information and join events that raise awareness for all types of cerebral palsy. Meet Sean, Hannah and Sam. They share their experience and how Paul's Place kept them together. Sean and Hannah were in the same class at school. They were only three years old when they first met and have fond memories of racing each other on their hands and knees at school. Only they can truly know what certain cerebral palsy symptoms are like, such as sudden, involuntary movements, where you could jump without warning. They went to different colleges from age ten. Ten years later they reunited at Paul’s Place in 2004 to continue their adventures together. Sam first met Sean and Hannah when he joined Claremont School years later. He loved racing Hannah down the school corridor and aiming to knock their wheelchairs. Sam said there was a gap in being together after they all left school for college. However, Paul’s Place brought them all back together. There's nothing like staying connected with old school friends, and Paul's Place made this possible. Sean, Hannah and Sam can continue to support and advocate for each other while living life to the full. #cerebralpalsy #cerebralpalsyawarenessmonth
😀 For International Women’s Day #IWD2025 we celebrate the incredible women at Paul’s Place. 🙏There are simply not enough words to "Thank" them for making Paul’s Place work for physically disabled adults. 👩‍👧‍👧 From the Trustees, our chief executive, support workers, volunteers, donors and fundraisers - you all guarantee no disabled person is left alone and they have the opportunities to live their best life. 👩 Most significantly, a special "thank you" to our members who support and encourage other physically disabled adult members to live life to the full. 🎸 Despite the many barriers, they find ways to volunteer, do crafts, play music and exercise to name a few. 📢 Big things are happening for us this year. During 2025, we celebrate 30 years of Paul’s Place, while relocating into our very own premises. A building repurposed for physically disabled people and based on what our members told us. #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction Every penny will make a big difference for getting us into Paul’s Place Hub.
