What a lovely way to spend the day! Key Worker Tine had a great time at the Donkey Sanctuary with her young person for a wellbeing chat and confidence building! #TNLComFundESF #confidencebuilding #wellness

It can be difficult this time of year for some, especially when its raining and dull outside. We're so pleased that this young person and his Key Worker got out to brave the elements for a walk on a very blustery beach. #TNLComFundESF #staypositive #getoutdoors

This week is #HousePlantWeekUK. Not only do houseplants make our homes look great, but they also have health benefits that you might not even know about - from improving the air we breathe to helping to lift our moods and lowering stress levels 🪴💚

We hope you're all keeping warm and safe during these cold days. Key Worker Vicci and her young person took a stroll along Exeter Quay yesterday and the canal was completely frozen... might be too cold? 😅❄️⛄️ #TNLComFundESF #coldweather #staysafe

Christmas is just round the corner so why not get into the festive mood by listening to Jenna's song 'Christmas Day'. Jenna finished with #Focus5 earlier this year and we are so proud of everything she achieved!

This young person has undertaken some volunteering at the cat rescue, giving them valuable experience, boosting self-esteem through helping others and gaining confidence in getting out of the house! #TNLComFundESF #volunteering #positive

Key Worker Vicci was driving with one her young people, Josh and he managed to get a shot of this complete rainbow through the rainy windscreen. It was a very cheery sight but they never did get to that pot of gold! 🌈✨#TNLCommunityFundESF #Rainbow
