This week at People First Keighley and Craven...
21st September – 25th October 2024
✪ On Monday, our member Daniel did us proud doing his Co-Chair role when he visited the Skipton Rotary to thank them for their donation, which has enabled us to get our own speaker and microphone system for future events! Daniel read out a fantastic speech of gratitude to the Rotary members.
✪ On Tuesday, our members went to Cougar Park in Keighley for the Modality Partnership’s Annual Health Check and Mixed Ability Sport event! We set up a stall to speak to people in the community who came along for a health check and give away our Positivity Pop-Up sensory items. Some of us joined in with fun and accessible ball games indoors and outside with some staff members from IMAS, Exclusively Inclusive, Keighley Healthy Living and more! And we did our Gentle Dental session to help teach people about keeping your teeth and mouth clean and healthy.
The event was a very good day out and we are so glad to have been invited!

We had a stall set up to show off our different Positivity Pop-Up items. We offer a large range of fidget toys, stress relievers and other small accessories that people can take home to help with their mental health!
Some of us also joined in with fun and accessible ball games indoors and outside with some staff members from IMAS, Exclusively Inclusive, Keighley Healthy Living and more incredible local groups!
Our manager Catrina and our members also presented our Gentle Dental session to help teach people about keeping your teeth and mouth clean and healthy.
The event was a very good day out and we are so glad to have been invited! We were so proud of all our members for getting involved in the sessions and representing People First!
✪ Wednesday saw us doing an all-day workshop with Dr Lucy Series and Dr Katherine Williams, who worked with us on a session all about love! We talked about what love meant to us and the different kinds of love, and using our comments Katherine created an amazing song we named “Love People First”!
We created this really cool song together based on our love and stories. We also made playlist that has combined all our favourite love songs. We definitely recommend giving it a listen

We even got the chance to interview them at the end of the day! It was an absolute privilege to work with Dr Lucy and Dr Katherine for hosting the amazing session and for giving us all an incredible and beautiful day.
In preparation for the session, we created a huge playlist of love songs chosen by each of us – our members, staff and volunteers! You can hear the playlist by clicking HERE!
✪ And to finish off the week, we did some recording for a special Halloween video! We can’t wait to share this soon…
✪ Our manager Catrina also got her Level 4 Makaton certificate this week too! We made the finger spelling hand positions for love out of playdough stuff to celebrate the theme of love that spanned the week.
