Ahead of International Day of Charity tomorrow, we want to recognise some of the brilliant fundraising efforts that have taken place across the Bedspace community this year! πŸ’™

From walking and cycling to trekking, hair donations and personal fundraising challenges, colleagues, their families and the young people we support have put their time, energy and determination behind causes that mean something to them.

🌟 Jennifer took on 100km in March in support of Alder Hey Children's Charity.
πŸ₯Ύ Debbie from our Leeds team took on a 20-mile Trek Together challenge for Sands, raising money for a charity with an incredibly personal significance to her.
πŸ’‡β€β™€οΈ 9-year-old Lila, daughter of our Liverpool Team Leader Tom, donated her hair and fundraised for The Little Princess Trust, helping the charity provide real-hair wigs to children and young people experiencing hair loss.
πŸƒ Kirsty from Leeds took on a fundraising challenge for Cancer Research UK (CRUK) throughout August.
🚴 Karl from our Liverpool office has been cycling throughout August for Prostate Cancer UK, taking on a 200-mile challenge to support lifesaving research and families affected by prostate cancer.
❀️ Louise from our Sefton team is currently fundraising for Cash for Kids, continuing an incredible history of supporting good causes through challenges including an abseil at Liverpool FC and Kip on the Kop.
⛰️ Carlie from our Children's Home Team took part in the Ultra Challenge in the Lake District fundraising for the NSPCC.

And we're particularly proud to celebrate T (pictured below), a young person supported by Bedspace, who recently fundraised for the Little Princess Trust and received certificates recognising their fantastic fundraising achievement. πŸ‘

Every mile, donation, challenge and conversation helps these organisations continue the incredible work they do.

If you're able to, International Day of Charity is a great opportunity to learn more about and support some of the charities our Bedspace community has been fundraising for:
πŸ’™ Alder Hey Children's Charity
🧑 Sands - baby loss charity
πŸ’œ The Little Princess Trust
πŸ’— Cancer Research UK
πŸ’™ Prostate Cancer UK
❀️ Cash for Kids
πŸ’š NSPCC

A huge well done to everyone who has fundraised, donated, sponsored or supported a colleague this year. We're incredibly proud to see people across Bedspace getting behind causes that matter to them!

"I feel secure." πŸ’™

Sometimes the simplest feedback says the most.

The young people we support and staff recently came together at Liverpool Watersports Activity Centre for a Young Person Forum with a difference, combining the chance to have their say with aqua park inflatables, kayaking, paddle boarding and so much more! 🌊

We asked everyone 2 important questions... "What do we do well?" and "What can we improve on?"

Their responses included:
πŸ’¬ "I feel secure."
πŸ’¬ "The support worker team is excellent."
πŸ’¬ "I love my Bedspace family."
πŸ’¬ "They support me every single time."
πŸ’¬ "Nothing, you are perfect."

Young people highlighted kind and supportive staff, help with education, health and independent living, confidence-building and activities as some of the things they value most.

They also gave us plenty to think about, including requests for more trips and activities, the idea of Bedspace football teams, and valuable feedback about ensuring our support continues to be individualised and neurodiversity-aware.

A huge thank you to everyone who shared their views and to everyone who helped make such a positive day possible.

Listening to young people is an important part of how we continue to learn and improve, and judging by the feedback, more days like this would definitely be welcome! πŸ’™

Great partnerships start with great conversations! πŸ—£

Recently, we welcomed colleagues from our Local Authority partners to our Liverpool office for a coffee morning, giving us the opportunity to showcase Bedspace's pathways and the support we provide to young people.

It was fantastic to be joined by Commissioning Officers, Social Work Directors, and Social Workers. The morning provided a valuable opportunity to share how we work alongside professionals to help young people build confidence, develop independence and create brighter futures.

The conversations didn't end there. Following the success of the event, we're looking forward to attending future Local Authority team meetings to continue strengthening our partnerships, share more about our pathways and explore how we can work even more closely together. 🀝

A huge thank you to everyone who attended! By building strong relationships and working collaboratively, we can continue delivering the best possible outcomes for the young people we support.

Every achievement starts with someone believing it's possible.

This International Youth Day, we're celebrating the incredible young people we have the privilege of supporting!

Over the past year, we've seen young people overcome challenges, gain qualifications, secure employment, build confidence, move into their own homes, reconnect with education and take huge steps towards independent futures. πŸ‘£

Behind every milestone is determination, resilience and hard work. We're incredibly proud of everything they've achieved and honoured to play a small part in their journeys.

To every young person we support: thank you for inspiring us every day. Your achievements remind us why we do what we do, and we can't wait to see what comes next.

Happy International Youth Day! πŸŽ‰

πŸ”§ We're hiring in Liverpool & Manchester! 🏑

🌿 Looking after gardens and external areas
πŸ› οΈ Tackling general property repairs and maintenance

You'll work across our occupied properties and empty homes (voids), helping make sure properties are safe, comfortable and ready for the people who call them home.

What does it take to go from being a self-confessed "wrong 'un" to managing one of the UK's leading accommodation and support providers?

In Episode 2 of Oh No... Another Podcast, our Managing Director, Nick Thornhill, joins host Sam Jones for an honest conversation about the highs, lows and lessons that have shaped his life, career and the journey of Bedspace. πŸ—£

As we come to the end of Good Care Month, we're incredibly proud to celebrate an amazing young person, A, who this month has been presented with the Personal Achievement Award 2026 at the Wirral Met College Awards Evening!

The award recognises A's hard work, determination and the progress she has made throughout her educational journey. Staff were also delighted to hear from her teachers, who spoke proudly about everything she has achieved.

One of the most inspiring moments of the evening came afterwards, when A shared her next goal: applying to study Level 1 Health and Social Care this September! πŸ“š

It's a wonderful reminder of the positive impact that compassionate support can have, not only in helping young people achieve their goals, but in inspiring the next generation of people who want to make a difference in the lives of others.

Congratulations, A. We couldn't be prouder and can't wait to see where your journey takes you next! πŸ‘

As we continue celebrating Good Care Month, we're recognising that making a difference isn't always about the big moments. Sometimes it's about creating opportunities for young people to get outdoors, build confidence, strengthen friendships and improve their wellbeing. πŸŒ³πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈβ€βž‘οΈ

Our recent Wellbeing Walk brought together young people and colleagues from both the Wirral Pathway and Separated Children teams for a day of fresh air, conversation and shared experiences. πŸ—£

The walk gave young people the chance to socialise, stay active and build relationships across our services, while our team enjoyed spending time together in a relaxed and informal setting.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day such a success. We're looking forward to making these Wellbeing Walks a regular feature, with new locations for young people to explore throughout the year!

As we continue celebrating Good Care Month, our recent Big Team Meeting gave colleagues the opportunity to hear directly from one of the young people we support. πŸ—£

Through an honest Q&A, they shared how having staff who listened, believed in them, and remained consistent, helped them build confidence, develop independence and prepare for the future.

Their story was a powerful reminder that the everyday conversations, encouragement and support our teams provide can have a life-changing impact.

A huge thank you to our young person for sharing their experiences so openly, to everyone who attended, and to Chris Wareing, who joined the session and reinforced the importance of keeping young people's voices at the heart of everything we do.

This Good Care Month, we're proud to celebrate the incredible people across Bedspace whose compassion and commitment help make stories like this possible every day! πŸ‘
