Shared Lives Wiltshire We help people live as part of a family, within the carer's home, where they receive support, care and companionship.

We were all excited to see Rachel making the most of a fantastic summer trip to Butlin's, complete with a meeting with the Skyline Gang!

Which quickly raised the question:

"If the Shared Lives team had to dress up as the Skyline Gang for Halloween, who would be who?" 👀

No names have been mentioned yet...

But we're fairly certain one team member would arrive in a professionally sourced costume, complete with accessories and a backstory.

Another would claim they're "not really doing fancy dress this year" before turning up in full character.

Someone would accidentally win the costume competition without even trying.

And one person would spend the entire evening insisting they're too sensible for Halloween while wearing a bright green Sprout wig. 🌱😂

So over to you...

🎃 Which Shared Lives team member would make the best:
⭐ Misty
🌟 Mimi
🎤 Candy
🎸 Dude
🌱 Sprout
🎭 Pip

Drop your nominations below. We promise not to use the results as next year's costume guide... probably. 👻🎡

A New Achievement in the Corner!

Congratulations Corey, on successfully completing the Non-Contact Boxing Tutor course!

This qualification will support the delivery of safe, inclusive boxing sessions for a range of participants, including the Parkinson's group, helping more people get active, build confidence and have fun through sport.

A brilliant achievement and a great example of creating opportunities for others

As carers, we often spend so much time supporting others that we forget to look after ourselves. If you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, isolated or simply need someone to talk to, there are a range of free and low-cost wellbeing services available across Wiltshire.

☕ Wellbeing Cafés run by Rethink Mental Illness offer a friendly, welcoming space for anyone feeling lonely, isolated or anxious. No referral is needed, just drop in for a chat and a cuppa.

🧠 Wiltshire Talking Therapies provides NHS support for anxiety, stress, low mood and depression, with self-referral available online.

🌱 Recovery College Workshops and Cafés offer free courses on topics including anxiety, ADHD, better sleep, resilience and self-kindness, helping people develop practical tools to support their wellbeing.

🤝 Wiltshire Mind offers counselling, wellbeing activities and support groups across the county, while Alabaré Access Community Mental Health Support can help people find the right services and build coping strategies for long-term wellbeing.

🌿 Looking for something different? The Men's Wellbeing Programme from Wiltshire Wildlife Trust uses nature-based activities to support mental health, and TWIGS Community Gardens provides therapeutic gardening opportunities for people experiencing mental health challenges.
