October at WACA

Elle Marshall
🍂a fabulous start to October here at Woodvale, we have been jam packed busy 🍂
On the 3rd we had our monthly Afternoon lunch, we served a choice of Carrot & Coriander soup with a hot bread roll. Or Sausage, mash and onion gravy!! With a lovely pudding of Syrup sponge & custard.
We also enjoyed our youth session of Halloween crafts, where the young people painted and decoupaged Halloween decorations.
After this we had our weekly Warm & Well session. These are Wednesdays 1pm-3pm, however the last session of the month is 12pm-1pm, due to a busy timetable!!
This week we had the amazing artist Jeni deliver another brilliant peaceful painting session! Where each participant learnt skills & got the time to relax. These sessions are fully booked but please let us know your interest anyways so we can look into getting more activities like this on!
Then… our youth group created spooky yummy masterpieces, when they decorated cupcakes. They all fully enjoyed this session… maybe because of the extra chocolate chips or mini marshmallows they got to munch?
Plus a lot more!! All of this and it’s only the 11th of October…if you would like any more information on any of the activities please contact us!

Soul Refreshing – Pottery Painting

Elle Marshall
A lovely afternoon yesterday spent pottery painting and having a cuppa and cake with friends.
This trip has been part of our Soul Refreshing project (funded by Living Well Sefton) which has allowed us to provide opportunities and experiences for our older members which they may not have done before or for a long time!
We can go back and collect our finished products in a couple of weeks and we can’t wait to see how they all turned out 😁
