Spreading Christmas Cheer at Options for Life
The festive spirit is in full swing at Options for Life, and this week, our participants came together for a heartwarming cause. They created Christmas cards to send to Logan, a young boy with Autism who has been facing bullying. Logan's family reached out, asking for cards to help lift his spirits, and our participants were more than happy to contribute.
A Break at Winterbourne House and Gardens
Meanwhile, our FunFit participants took a well-deserved break from their exercise routines to visit the stunning Winterbourne House and Gardens. Built in 1909 and once home to the Nettlefolds family, this historic site provided a peaceful and enriching experience. The group enjoyed exploring the beautiful surroundings and took some time to relax and soak in the festive atmosphere.
Aqua Fit Ladies Join the Cause
The Aqua Fit participants also joined in the effort to bring cheer to Logan. After their invigorating session, they sat down to create more Christmas cards, each adorned with lovely messages. This collective effort has not only brightened Logan’s holiday season but also brought our community closer together. Each card is filled with love, care, and messages of encouragement, including one touching sentiment: “Merry Christmas, just be your unique self.”
This thoughtful initiative was inspired by our staff Sheena, whose idea resonated deeply with everyone. The participants could relate to Logan’s experiences and were keen to bring some happiness into his life. Their creativity and kindness truly embody the holiday spirit.
Advent Treats Add to the Excitement
The festive fun doesn’t stop there! Today, Martina had the honour of picking up the 6th Day treat from our advent calendar. Natalie also picked up the Day 7 box from the calendar, as we are closed on Saturday. Their delights at claiming the prizes added to the growing excitement as we count down the days to Christmas. 🎁🎅
Delightful Christmas Crafts in Art Session
In our art session, participants embraced the festive spirit by creating delightful Christmas crafts. They decorated homemade lollipop stick ornaments, adding their unique designs with paint, glitter, and festive embellishments. Each decoration was crafted with love and excitement, ready to be proudly displayed on their own Christmas trees at home. It was a joyful and creative session that filled the room with holiday cheer!
At Options for Life, the holiday season is all about spreading joy, fostering connections, and creating lasting memories. Whether through acts of kindness, special outings, or festive traditions, we’re making this Christmas one to remember!
