As we step into 2025, we’re filled with gratitude for the journey so far and excitement for the year ahead. At We Change Lives, one thing remains constant: our heartfelt mission to support and empower people to live their best lives. Whether it’s helping older people and individuals with dementia, supporting those with learning disabilities or acquired brain injuries, or championing mental health, our focus is and always will be on the people we support.
Reflecting on the past year
2024 was a year full of joyful memories and meaningful connections. Across our care locations, we saw lives transformed and communities come together. Here are just a few highlights:
Older People and Dementia Care: With our personalised care tailored to each of our residents, our year was full of joy and celebration at Heathside and The Mews. From sharing wise words (and them going viral!) to days of pampering, hat-making workshops, movie nights, and dance parties, there was always something special to enjoy and memories to be made.
Learning Disability Services: We shared special moments, had fun in all the big and little ways, from celebrating birthdays and anniversaries to enjoying spontaneous games and creative activities that brought us closer.
Acquired Brain Injury Services: We supported rehabilitation journeys and encouraged new challenges, including the Wigan Care Olympics, cheering folks on at the St. John’s School Sports Day, and visiting Robin Park.
Mental Health Support: With safe spaces and personalised care, we helped people focus on their wellbeing while enjoying events like Westleigh’s Mini-Olympics and the launch of the amazing Ohana Cove! 🍸
None of this would have been possible without our incredible team members, the families who trust us, the people we support, and the wider community who stand with us. Thank you for being part of this journey.
Looking ahead…
This year, we’re excited to build on the strong foundations we’ve created, staying true to our mission while embracing new opportunities.
Our focus is on putting people first by continuing to provide personalised care that helps everyone feel valued, supported, and seen.
Supporting our incredible team remains a big priority because they’re at the heart of everything we do. We’re here to help them grow, thrive, and keep making a difference. And, of course, we’ll continue to celebrate family connections by finding more ways for families to bond with their loved ones and feel truly involved in their care.
How you can be part of this mission
The new year also brings new ways to join us in changing lives. You can be part of our mission by joining our team, where you’ll become part of a compassionate, dedicated group of people making a real difference every day. Or consider volunteering with us - whether it’s a few hours a week or helping at a one-off event, your time can brighten someone’s day and create meaningful connections
We believe that every day brings the chance to create something wonderful. Whether it’s a moment of laughter, a breakthrough in rehabilitation, or the comfort of knowing someone cares, we’re here to make it happen.
As we move into 2025, our mission remains rooted in hope, kindness, and connection. This year let’s continue to change lives together - because while the calendar may change, the heart of what we do never will.
Happy New Year from all of us at We Change Lives. Let’s make it a great one, together.
