We’re planning an exciting year full of events and activities – and we want YOUR input!

✅ What would you love to join in this year?

Your feedback helps us create a calendar that everyone enjoys. Drop your suggestions in to reception. Let’s make this year amazing together!

Christmas can be a time of celebration, but it can also be a really difficult period for many people. The pressure to feel happy, financial worries, loneliness, grief, family challenges, or changes in routine can all affect our mental health.

If Christmas feels hard for you, please know:

• You are not alone.
• Your feelings are valid.
• It's ok to take things at your own pace.

You don't have to attend every event, feel festive every day, or put on a brave face. Small steps, gentle routines, and reaching out for support can make a real difference.

This Christmas, let's be kind to ourselves and look out for one another. A simple check in, a conversation, or a listening ear can mean more than we realise.

If your struggling, support is available. Please reach out to someone you trust or a support service.

We had a lovely time last night getting creative at our Christmas Card making session.

It was great to see everyone enjoying the festive atmosphere and creating some beautiful handmade cards to share with loved ones.

Thank you to everyone who took part.

We got into the festive spirit with a Gonk making craft session, and it was a big hit!

Residents had lots of fun creating their own unique festive Gonks, choosing colours, accessories, and designs to make each one truly personal.

The session was full of creativity, laughter, and great conversation, with everyone enjoying the chance to get creative and spend time together. It was lovely to see the pride on residents faces as they showed off their finished gonks!

A brilliant way to celebrate the season, boost wellbeing, and enjoy some festive fun together.

The Foyer Federation is asking young people to take part in The Big Questions survey.

Its about:

• What you think.
• What you need now.
• What challenges you are dealing with.

Your feedback will help shape how Foyers and services work across the country. Real experiences lead to real change.

It only takes a few minutes, and your voice really matters.

Take part and help create positive change.

Our December newsletter is out now and marks our final newsletter of the year. It's a chance to look back at the activities, achievements, and moments we have shared throughout the year.

Thank you to everyone who has been involved and made it a great year.

Join us for a fun and relaxed quiz night tomorrow the 17th at 6pm.

Come along, test your knowledge, enjoy some laughs and spend time together.

Everyone is welcome, no pressure, just fun.

Everyone had a wonderful time getting into the festive spirit with a Christmas cake making session. From mixing ingredients to decorating their cakes, everyone got involved and enjoyed working together.

It was great to see so much laughter, creativity, and teamwork.

The cakes smelled amazing
