October Roundup: Spooks, Scares and Seasonal Fun

October has been full of creativity, community spirit and Halloween fun across our services! From baking and decorating to fundraising and even a murder mystery, everyone has truly got into the autumn spirit.

🕵️ Pudsey

Pudsey held a fantastic Halloween party complete with a scarecrow walk including scarecrows from various Yorkshire services and a thrilling murder mystery where everyone had to find the kidnapped pumpkin, Squashington! Read the full story here!

🧁 Crewe

Crewe have been baking up a storm all month at their Crewecial baking group! From spooky muffins and biscuits to eerie cupcakes with brilliant designs, they’ve created some seriously impressive (and tasty!) treats.

👻 Alsager

Alsager got crafty and made their own decorations from recycled materials – including dangling paper plate eyeballs, paper cup ghosts, punny tombstones and a spooky witch! Two clients even filmed their own scary video to get everyone in the Halloween spirit… if you dare to watch!

🕸️ Stoke

Stoke went all out with their Halloween decorations and pumpkin carving – their garden has been taken over by a GIANT spider and its webs!

🧙 Morley

Morley’s team showed off their creative side, making decorations from old books to create a ghost garland and transforming their space into a Halloween haven! Their party was packed with fun – from a Halloween quiz and pumpkin painting to “wrap the mummy” (where teams had three minutes to cover their mummy in loo roll!) and “pin the fangs on Dracula.” There were even games of ring toss on the witch’s hat and some fantastic costumes, including an unforgettable inflatable chicken! It looked like a brilliant day full of laughter and creativity.

💀 Chester

Chester hosted an action-packed Halloween party with plenty of games and creative decorations – including a ghost made from a Christmas tree! They also carved a unique pumpkin featuring half a skeleton, half a jack-o’-lantern face that looked incredible.

👻 Macclesfield

Macclesfield’s communal areas looked amazing, decked out with cobwebs, pumpkins and even flashing ghosts! A brilliant effort from everyone to create a spooky atmosphere.

🎃 York

York rounded off Halloween with a fantastic party, some brilliant costumes and a delicious pumpkin patch cake that went down a treat!

🧛 Mersey Gardens

Mersey Gardens had a fang-tastic Halloween celebration in their spookily decorated wellness den! They wrapped staff in loo roll for a three-minute mummy competition, danced along to spooky music, showed off some brilliant costumes and enjoyed plenty of tasty treats. It looked like a frightfully fun day for everyone involved!

🍂 Beyond Halloween

It wasn’t all ghosts and pumpkins this month – we’ve also seen some great achievements and activities across our services:

🧶 York

York attended the St Nicks Autumn Fair, raising an impressive £150.20 for charity. Our colleague Rose worked tirelessly with clients to create beautiful handmade crafts for the stall – a huge well done to all involved!

💪 Middlewich

Middlewich clients have been smashing their fitness goals at the gym and showing brilliant progress as well as being really organised and doing meal prep. Keep it up!

🐴 Leeds

Leeds clients enjoyed a visit to their charity partner Equine Pathways, spending time with the adorable miniature horses, learning about their care, and even taking them for a walk.

🧗 Rapid Response

Ste from Rapid Response took on an incredible challenge – a 100ft charity abseil down the side of Anfield Stadium, raising £160 for our charity partner Live! Cheshire. Well done, Ste!
