Up at the Harding hub it was healthy food preparation day. Healthy eating is designed to provide the ability and knowledge to prepare healthy meals; this is a very popular and productive activity with everyone enjoying eating their creations.

Meanwhile down at the training ground the footballers were getting fit.

Meanwhile down at football training it was all systems go as the teams trained for the 2021/2022 season in the South Yorkshire Ability Counts League; and hopefully another top of the League finish this season.

A date for your diary and your sat nav: – Tuesday 31st August @ Social Unit 10 Alexandra Centre, Rail Mill Way, Parkgate, Rotherham. S62 6 JE [from the little Asda roundabout in Parkgate turn left on to Beale Way; first turn left onto Alexandra Centre at Secprint and veer left to the end of the car parking] 10.30am to 1pm.

A group of Social eyes clients moved to an industrial unit in Parkgate late last year and the members of our Tuesday team have been working hard on a new project.

The group wanted the project to have an industrial link, which would allow our members to learn new skills, develop entrepreneurial opportunities & help build individuals confidence & wellbeing.

With this is mind the research, brain storming & planning began.

To cut a long story short, we are extremely proud to inform you that CREATIONS at Social eyes is now in full operation every Tuesday.

This is a creative group that will produce items to sell to members of the public.  The first project to be launched is our ‘wax melts project’.

It’s now one week before our CREATIONS launch date and excitement is definitely building at The Social Unit and up at the Harding Avenue hub. socialuniteyes@gmail.com

 Your invitation is here:

Social Eyes look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 31st August @ Unit 10 Alexandra Centre, Rail Mill Way, Parkgate, Rotherham. S62 6 JE [from the little Asda roundabout in Parkgate turn left on to Beale Way; first turn left at Secprint onto Rail Mill Way and veer left to the end of the car parking]

Light refreshments will be available. 

At the launch you will get the chance to meet the CREATIONS team, buy/order our brand-new product, chat about our future ambitions & meet with other parents & carers.

I hope you will all support this fantastic new activity; the CREATIONS team have worked so hard to deliver.

It is a huge significant day for everyone at socialeyesrotherham.co.uk, our first commercial community event in over 18 months due to Covid.

 The Green team are very proud of our service, the service users & of course our newly created wax melts.

It will also be an opportunity for our fantastic SOCIAL EARS (parents & carers forum) to reunite, share a brew & meet new parents & carers who are now linked to our service, let’s bring some normality back to our service.

We really hope you can all make the event on Tuesday, but if you can’t why not come along to the Wednesday coffee mornings up at the Drop in Centre on Harding Avenue, Rawmarsh. S62 7ED.

The coffee mornings begin on Wednesday 22^nd September and everyone is welcome for a cuppa and a chat. All the drinks [hot and cold] will be £1.

Please, don’t be a stranger; come and make new friends and see what is on offer at the new revamped Parkgate/Rawmarsh Community Centre on Harding Avenue. We are right behind the bus stop and although there is limited parking in our car park, there is lots of on road parking.

The Banned were in rehearsal mode up at the Thorpe Hesley Community Centre, with lots of fun and laughter also on the agenda.

Down at the Parkgate hub it was nutrition advice and tasting, with singing and bingo also on the agenda.

But first, it was happy birthday to Lilly.

There are lots of activities to catch up on as I have been away from the website [had visitors], so keep coming back over the next few days and see what the guys and gals have been up to.

Up at the Harding Avenue hub there has been colouring, paper mache work and mosaics alongside the keep fit singing and dancing and gardening.

Down at the Parkgate hub it was games indoors and out, exercise and surfing all culminating in Martin getting the clean up job.

Add in the days out and a very enjoyable first half of this week.

The singing and dancing, colouring and tyre painting continue up the Harding hub with ice lolly treats included.

Meanwhile the outdoor visit was to Derwent Water Dam to see the wonderful scenery and relive the exploits of past times.
