Sutton House clients have been learning about calcium and why it is important for keeping our bones strong and healthy.The session began with a short video exploring the bones in the human skeleton, then it was time to put that knowledge into practice!
Leighton House clients have made a delicious potato salad using potatoes they grew and recently harvested themselves! It is fantastic to see our clients taking their gardening skills into the kitchen, learning new skills, following steps, and working together.
Yay! We had another winner at the weekend in the Birmingham Community Lottery.
They won and so did we, especially as they donated their winnings straight back to us. Have a go... there are great prizes to be won!

Client Stephen has been learning how to play the board game 'Othello' with support from his support worker Parm. A great opportunity to learn something new while developing important cognitive skills, including concentration,problem-solving, strategic thinking and planning ahead.
Community Outreach client Lee enjoyed getting out into the community with support from Johnathon to complete his weekly shopping. Then, after getting the shopping done, it was time for a well-deserved coffee and a chance to relax and enjoy a chat.

Meet little Frank, our four-legged friend!
Frank belongs to one of our clients who is currently in hospital. While his owner is receiving care, Frank has been staying with his support worker, where he's certainly making himself at home. 🏠🐾

Clients learnt about some of the chemicals in our brains that influence how we feel, think and respond to everyday life. Understanding how these chemicals work can help us recognise the factors that influence our emotions and discover positive ways to support our mental health.
We would like to give a special shout-out to Headway House client Jenny, who creates beautiful handmade jewellery to sell at the hub. Jenny regularly updates the jewellery stand with new designs, and her latest collection has a fun Halloween theme! 🎃👻

Leighton House gardening group have been busy getting things ready for the colder months ahead. Clients enjoyed harvesting their potatoes and planting parsley seeds.
There was also time to slow down, enjoy the fresh air and listen to the birds. 🐦

This is Community Outreach client Soli who enjoys going swimming every week with support worker Jonathan, and it's making a real difference to his wellbeing. Soli says he really appreciates the support he receives, recognising just how beneficial the weekly swimming sessions are.
Headway House clients took part in a thoughtful session exploring self-awareness, identity and self esteem.
Following a discussion about who we are and how we feel about ourselves, clients got creative by using cut-out pictures and words from newspapers to make their own collages
Headway House clients had a great time enjoying a game of ten-pin bowling on a recent offsite trip. There were plenty of smiles, laughter and friendly competition as everyone had a go at knocking down the pins.

There are various systems in the body that are responsible for maintaining balance, and the brain plays a crucial role in this skill. This means issues with balance and dizziness can often develop after brain injury.
However, these four simple tips can help.
Do you have any other ways to improve your balance? Leave a comment and let us know!

Break times are a great opportunity for clients to relax, socialise and give their brains a workout! Headway House clients enjoyed getting together for a game of cards recently, sharing some laughs and enjoying each other's company.
