Today we welcomed Luke from @andysmanclubuk to MioCare's HQ in Failsworth.
He talked to people from across our services about the positive impact the club continues to have on the men it supports:

We all have the power to make someoneโs day a little brighter. A thoughtful message, a helping hand or a moment of real listening make a bigger difference than we realise. And caring for others does us good too ๐

We just LOVE these photos sent through to us by Paul and Shared Lives Carer, Matt, who recently went along too see Paul's favourite band @DefLeppard at @TheCoopLive!
A dream come true for Paul, who's been telling all his pals what a brilliant time he had at the gig.
Rock on! ๐ธ

Resilience isnโt pretending things are fine or pushing through alone. Itโs about caring for ourselves, connecting with others and taking helpful steps forward, even in difficult times #JumpBackUpJuly actionforhappiness.org/july

๐งต We were delighted to welcome the 'In My Shoes' theatre group to MioCare this week.
They performed 'Welcome Home', an original theatre piece based on personal experience, exploring the meaning of home and community.
'In My Shoes' performers Katie and Scott are also part of successful #SharedLives matches here in their hometown of Oldham.
Seeing them in action was a real treat, and we're grateful to both of them and everyone in the group for bringing this inspirational show to Failsworth!
Shared Lives is more than care; it's connection and belonging.
This #SharedLivesWeek2026, we're celebrating the people opening their homes and hearts to support others to live full, independent lives. โค๏ธ

From penalty shootouts, to egg and spoon races, Hamza, Sam and friends competed brilliantly and with smiles on their faces. A big thank you to everyone that took part, and to those that helped organise the event.
It's great to be together.
This week (and every week to be honest!) we'll continue to #ShoutAboutSharedLives ๐
