Christmas is coming... and Special People North is supporting the

local community!

During the weekend of 26th- 28th November the Alderley Edge Methodist Church, as part of its church spire appeal, is providing the venue for local organisations to display a Christmas tree decorated with their own unique themes. Local schools, buisnesses, the Scouts, Guides and Brownies are already going to be there along with the British Legion and many, many more. This will be the first time Special People North has participated, so if you have a free hour or so try and pop along.

The Church is organising during the weekend a musical extravaganza, and I’ve attached their flyer so you can see everything that’s going on, and not forgetting the event is being opened by none other than our celebrity local author Alan Garner. Hope to see you there… and watch out for photos on my December blog!

Christmas is coming… and special people need extra special support... and for one family this will be with the help of their lucky balloon!

In my last blog I told you all about the balloon race that was held in Sandbach as part of the Cheshire Voice family day, back in September. I have just received an e-mail to say a label has been found, and I am waiting with anticipation for the post to arrive so that I can share the good news with the winning ticket holder!  Meanwhile here's a glimpse of our stand, our pink tree, our flyers and our Special People North balloons (and that's me there too...)

I also wanted to share with you the editorial that went into the Cheshire Independent newspaper this month on page 36. This paper is distributed free via supermarkets, libraries and all sorts of public venues and is full of GOOD news, leaving the bad and sad for all the other publications!

SPECIAL PEOPLE DESERVE SPECIAL SUPPORT OVER FESTIVE SEASON
One glance at the shops and you would think that Christmas was next week! It won’t be long Hallowe’en and Bonfire Night are both a distant memory and the focus for a lot of people will be the festive season. With this in mind Special People North will ensure there is support for those families with a special needs child or adult in the family during this busy time.

Special People North founder Joy says “At this time of year we know there is so much more to do, whether it’s writing to Santa or writing Christmas cards, shopping for the kids or shopping for a new party dress, going to visit Santa or going to visit grandma. Our Special People North support workers are there for exactly these times. Which means that the family has greater personal choice – including the opportunity and freedom to spend precious time exactly how they want to. Due to our flexible approach support can be either with the rest of the family or on a one-to-one basis”.

Special People North prides itself on maintaining the flexibility to provide support workers when they are wanted and for as long as they are wanted, during the day or night, week-days, week-ends and bank holidays entirely dependent on the family’s requirements.
Special People North provides support workers, personal assistants and buddies for children and adults with special needs including physical difficulties, learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorders.

Our support workers are carefully selected to meet specific needs, and are always introduced to the family in advance, ensuring the highest quality dependable domiciliary service.
