“Laughter brought in our New Year”

“Sleeping Beauty at the Carriageworks” 

Last week some of us enjoyed the uplifting funny and entertaining Sleeping Beauty Pantomime at Leeds Carriageworks. From the comments afterwards it sounds like it was a huge hit with plenty of feel-good moments.

“It is the first time I have been to a pantomime and I really enjoyed it”

“What a start to my year, it was brilliant”

“I really enjoyed it, it was good fun” 

“I just got into it, it was great”

“……the atmosphere was welcoming, warm and comfortable, and the carols were performed by the choir most admirably.  And the festive buns were tasty too.  All-in-all, the event nicely encapsulated the Christmas Spirit! ” Alistair

“Christmas can be a great time for catching up with family and friends, celebrating and having fun. It can also be a time of stress, money worries, family tension and loneliness. Many people feel pressured to have a ‘perfect’ time at Christmas, especially as we’re surrounded by adverts and social media telling us how wonderful everything is.

For people already dealing with mental health problems, the challenges of the festive period can sometimes make things feel worse” (MindWell website: 20.12.19)

Caring Together was set up by the community for local older residents in 1995. We care about each other, the community and all its residents including those just passing through.
Caring comments:
 
 “I have noticed the blinds shut and he normally opens them first thing, I wonder if he is ok?”
 “My daughter popped round to see if she was alright as knew she had not been well”
 “I haven’t seen her for a while, I will pop up and see her this weekend”
