Great to attend National Star's #LifeAfterCollege event today and talk with students about just some of the ways that Milestones Trust can support people to continue to live their best lives once they've graduated!

In light of the UK Government's recent changes to Skilled Worker Visas and as an organisation with a number of staff on sponsorship visas, we spoke to #TeamMilestones frontline workers like Olufunke to share their story: https://f.mtr.cool/hvkzfwgtvf

Image of a quote from Olufunke, reading "What would you say to someone considering a career in social care? I’d say go for it—with both heart and purpose. Social care is one of the most rewarding fields you can be in. It’s not just a job; it’s an opportunity to make a real difference every single day. If you’re passionate about people, growth, and inclusion, you’ll find social care both fulfilling and inspiring.”

We welcomed some friendly faces to our new Art Sessions this week. The theme was slogan artwork, with inspiration tacked up around the studio, and we had some wonderful pieces at the end!

We were also asking people to come up with a new catchy name for the sessions...can you think of anything? 💭

Tim recently went to visit West Midlands Safari Park, he enjoyed going through the drive-through safari and seeing all the fantastic animals around the rest of the park, the highlight had to be feeding the lorikeets though! 🦜

A HUGE thank-you to the wonderful folks at the Warmley Flower Show! They made a generous £600 donation to Warmley Wheelers from funds raised at their annual event. This will help us to keep offering our much-loved service to local residents with care and health needs that could not cycle otherwise.
