What a day it was for everyone at the Getta Life fun day on Thursday 28th June. It was a day full of excitement and fun which everyone evidently enjoyed.

The theme of the day was celebration of people's Gifts & Talents. Each person had something to celebrate.

Talents such as: art, crafts, collage making, baking, gardening, and many more were beautifully exhibited. Kirk from the Rock choir made people's day with his music and everyone learned some new songs and rhythms.

Jac helped to bring out everyone's creative side in pottery with clay, and many shapes were made on the day. Jehu from national portraits excited everyone with his fun photos and videos.

The pinnacle of the day was the people receiving their well earned rewards from Julie, Sue, and Lenny. Their smiles and faces could show that they felt valued. An appreciation was done to top off the day and to motivate all those who contributed to the fun day in one way or other.

It was evident that this fun day is something that everyone looks forward to.

Let's share the fun.

Myunga Disala's reflective supervision. talking about all the brave things she did at Bendrigg. 2017

What Brave things have you done recently with the person you support and how did it go?

The bravest thing I did was go with Sheila to Bendrigg and it helps me to overcome my fears about certain things in life. Being brave is an ability to face, endure dangers or pain to overcome your fears. I was very excited to support Sheila with her holiday to Bendrigg and I really didn’t have any idea on how the activities are over there. I have tried to get as much informations from my colleagues and it seems that they have really enjoyed it and a good time. I said to myself that if they did it, I can also do it.
Our first activity was rock climbing, fear started to take over me as I soon saw the length of the wall, even though it was indoor but it looks dangerous.
Seeing how brave Sheila was during all these activities, made me think again that I can do everything. I referred to a bible verse that says that “I can do everything with God who strengthens me”. It made me think that I don’t need to think too much, I will just do it.
When you have fear of something or someone you cannot move forward, while bravery is the thing that frees you and leads you to knowing.
I was brave and took the courage to participate on all the activities. Being in the cave it was a dangerous thing for me to do because I don’t like being in suffocated places.
All the activities went well, Sheila is really a good teacher, she always teach us how to stay calm and be confident. Sheila was very calm and content, she was communicating very well, she was able to let us know when she happy for activities or not.
Me and Promila were so happy, to see how everything went so smoothly as being far away from home for work it’s a huge responsibility.
I am so happy with everything that I am doing for people I support and it’s helping me to become more confident.

Have a look at some wonderful photos from one of their recent celebrations.

Just the album titles tell you a little of the story....

- Rediscover pride and give permission for people to be
proud.
- Be brave, you have to try something to see how it will be.
- If relationships are right, everything else is likely to be
right.
- Relationships are what matter most in life.
- We get to know ourselves through the people we're closest
to.
