Matt “I broke the fear and got back into the swimming pool. You wouldn’t think I was afraid of it. It was heaven.”

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

🚨 JAIL & BAIL is BACK! 🚨 Know someone who deserves a day behind bars? 😜 Nominate your friend, colleague, boss —even yourself—to get locked up in the world famous Shepton Mallet prison for a great cause!

🎉 Happy #VolunteersWeek 2025! 🕓 It launched over forty years ago, and takes place during the first week of June every year. 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 Our small charity relies on and appreciates our volunteers for the extra capacity, skills and life experiences they bring. 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 Our corporate volunteers become passionate in our mission to enhance the lives of physically disabled adults, supporting them to live their best life. We're always grateful to the corporate volunteers who continue their support. Their 'give-back' days with us can range from; ✅ facilitating activities; ✅ cutting back the weeds in the sensory garden; to ✅ preparing our move to Paul's Place Hub during our thirtieth anniversary. 🙏 We're saying a massive "Thank you" to our regular and devoted volunteers by treating them to homemade cakes this Thursday, 5th June. 👀 Look out for the photos. ⭐ For many volunteers our small charity offers a golden opportunity to step out of the office or the everyday routine to give back. They know they make a massive difference in our warm, cosy and welcoming community.

May 2025 went by in a flash, but it was filled with life enhancing and life altering experiences. We ended April and started May with our short break to Hampshire to support members who haven’t had a break or a break in years. Our new premises at Paul’s Place Hub in Shire Way is progressing well, but we need your support to get us through the front door. Physiotherapy at the Brightwell means so much to our members, especially when this type of support often ends for physically disabled disabled adults. Everyday activities, such as entering a shopping centre can be a massive leap for some members. We celebrated fifteen incredible years of Sue volunteering at Paul’s Place. She really promotes fun and laughter while inspiring members to take part and try new activities. We ‘razzle’ ‘dazzled’ to Chicago at the Hippodrome. Project Soundbox interviewed us about our online experience. @bupadentalcareuk supported our Monday gardening group. And we ended the month grooming, brushing and riding Shetland ponies at Kilkenny Stables for a full pony experience.

This year we celebrate fifteen years since Sue started volunteering with us. Our members love spending time with Sue and she encourages them to take part. Sue also supports our evening program and short breaks away. The difference she makes to so many lives is immeasurable. We simply could not do what we do without Sue and all our volunteers. #volunteer #volunteerwork #smallcharity

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💚
