What you notice with My Life teams is that everyone really cares for the people they support, and they definitely have the best interests of that person at the heart of what they do. That not only means people get better quality care, but also that everyone works together to ensure the best outcomes for people.

A big thank you to Jack Griffin who represented My Life at Wigan Council with Scott, Tracey and Caroline.Jack was part of showcasing My Life’s achievements over the past 14 years. Together we described the journey from around our kitchen table to being proud of how we work hard to make a difference to many individuals each week. Jack eloquently told his story of why My Life was so important to him, the difference it had made to his life and the wonderful people he had met on his journey. He even gave a quick rendition of “Take me home Country Road” as he described his proud moment of his solo performance in the Pony Panto 2025!!Thanks Jack we were there for you all of those years ago, now you’re there for us. Thank you 🙏 👏Together We Are Better 🤲#belonging #friendships #friendshipsthatlast #friendshipsthatlastalifetime❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

👂HAVE you heard of “EOTAS” …it stands for Education Otherwise Than At School.🧑‍🎓It is a legal arrangement in England and Wales where a local authority provides a child’s education without them attending a school. EOTAS is typically considered when a child cannot attend school because of complex needs, such as:* Significant special educational needs (SEN)* Physical or mental health conditions* Anxiety or trauma related to school* Other exceptional circumstances where school attendance is not appropriateFor children with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan, EOTAS can be specified in the plan if it is determined that education in a school would be inappropriate and education elsewhere is necessary to meet the child’s needs.EOTAS provision might include:* Home tuition* Online learning* Therapy integrated with education* Community-based learning* One-to-one teaching* A combination of different educational settingsUnlike elective home education (where parents choose to educate their child), EOTAS is arranged and funded by the local authority.💖At My Life we have created community based Alternative Education in Equine, Catering and Hospitality, Horticulture, Animal Care and Functional Skills. Many young people are using an EOTAS to access this. We are on Quality Frameworks for Wigan, Bolton and Lancashire Councils .👍🏫We work with many schools as an additional option when children and young people are still on roll but not fully attending (not EOTAS)☀️Traineeships are available for those who have left education these are funded through health and social care. To find out more contact [email protected] or call 01257 472900 during office hours. Here is a little clip of our student showcase end of the academic year 2026. ... See MoreSee Less

💛 National Friendship Day-Power of Connection 💛“I’d rather play at hug o’ war,Than war with someone else…” 🤗We loved bringing this beautiful poem to life in our video…….because sometimes, the simplest message is the most powerful: we are stronger when we come together.For the people we support, friendship, connection and belonging are so much more than simply spending time together. They are an important part of wellbeing, confidence and mental health 💛Social connection can help people to:✨ Feel valued, heard and understood✨ Build confidence and self-esteem✨ Develop meaningful friendships and relationships✨ Reduce loneliness and isolation✨ Express emotions and communicate with others✨ Feel a sense of belonging and community✨ Try new things and develop independence✨ Celebrate each other’s strengths and individualityOur approach is rooted in social pedagogy…..recognising the whole person and understanding that relationships are at the heart of learning, growth and wellbeingIt’s about creating opportunities to be together, have fun, make choices, share experiences, support one another and simply enjoy being part of something 💛Because friendship doesn’t need to be complicated…….Sometimes it’s a laughSometimes it’s a helping handSometimes it’s trying something new togetherSometimes it’s simply knowing that someone is there 🙂And when we pull together, we can create something pretty amazing 🤗“Happy National Friendship Day from all of us” 🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼#NationalFriendshipDay #FriendshipMatters #ThePowerOfConnection #SocialPedagogy #LearningDisabilities #InclusionMatters #Community #Belonging #MentalWellbeing #WellbeingMatters #TogetherWeCan #Friendship #MyLifeLegacy ...

📸 More than just a photograph…….One photographer stood in one place to capture the shot, but this moment was created by many hands, many ideas and a whole lot of teamwork💚Behind the camera, one person adjusted the settings, another helped choose the background and position our models, while several of our amazing PAs worked together to help hold everything perfectly in placeMost importantly, everyone felt comfortable, included and part of something bigger.🥰We shared ideas, solved problems, encouraged each other and kept going until everything was just rightSo when that final photo was captured, it captured so much more than what you see in the frameIt captured supportIt captured understandingIt captured creativityIt captured teamworkAnd most importantly, it captured the magic of My Life 🩷Every person played a part in bringing these photos to life , and that’s what makes them so special. 📸✨We are getting so much out of our photography session at Leigh Together, we can create something amazing 💚 ...
