We were so pleased to have the opportunity to hold our summer party earlier this month. Held at Mereside Community Centre in Shrewsbury, our party brought staff, Shared Lives Carers and people we support together from across Shropshire and Birmingham for an afternoon in the sun.   

With a fantastic DJ set from Simon Whitehouse, karaoke, a raffle and games, there was something for everyone. With karaoke hits such as “The Circle of Life” from the Lion King and “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and Simon the DJ leading us all in “Sweet Caroline” happening inside, outside guests were treated to an array of garden party games to be played in the sun. No party would be complete without cake, enjoyed while we called our raffle. 

It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying themselves together following on from the past few years of uncertainty. 

Thank you for your support!
