πŸ’™ Learning Disability Week 2026 πŸ’™ Do You See Me? πŸ’™ Learning Disability Week 2026 πŸ’™

Do You See Me? πŸ‘€βœ¨

Today we're shining a spotlight on Eric🌟

Eric is a The SPICE Group  member and a person we support in Trafford, he does lots of work in the community and was the mastermind behind the Green Superheroes. He drew a picture of a β€˜Recycling Man’ and told his fellow SPICE Group members he wanted to show people how to recycle and tell them why it is so important. Due to his fabulous work, in 2023 Eric won the Global Recycling Foundation Creative Innovation Award for his dedication to saving our planet. πŸŒŽβ™»οΈ

Thank you Eric for all the work you continue to do and all the people you continue to inspire! πŸ†πŸ‘
🎢🌞 The Leaping Frogs at Midsummer Middlewich 🌞🎢 Su 🎢🌞 The Leaping Frogs at Midsummer Middlewich 🌞🎢
Sunday 21st June 2026 (Father's Day)

On Sunday, The Leaping Frogs will be doing two gigs at the very first Midsummer Middlewich festival. Are we all excited??

The first one is at 12.00 pm, at the The Kings Lock (SatNav: CW10 0JJ) on the banks of the Trent and Mersey Canal. The second one is at 2.30 pm, further up the canal towpath on Salinae Field Salt Towns’ Radio  stage. The SatNav postcode you need is CW10 9BQ, and that is for Wych-House Lane, which is by Salinae Field. 

Off-street parking is by Salinae Field Day Centre. More spaces are available at Civic Way Car Park (CW10 9BX).

What's great is Midsummer Middlewich is it is a really free festival. Just turn up and go, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy. There are loads of live groups and singers on this weekend from the town's pubs and good places to eat. There is also a canalside market and Duck Races on Saturday and Sunday at 4.00 pm.

It is a great weekend to meet friends old and new, listen to great music, and have a wonderful time. If you're seeing The Leaping Frogs on Sunday, it is also a great way to celebrate Father's Day!

What a fantastic day we had celebrating the start of the 2026 World Cup ! πŸŽ‰πŸ₯³βš½

Our World Cup Madness party held at River Beal CafΓ© and Community Hub  was packed with fun from start to finish, including a football quiz 🧠⚽ that got everyone thinking, a spectacular football-themed cake that looked almost too good to eat, and a game of Play Your Cards Right with lots of prizes won! πŸ™ŒπŸ†

The atmosphere was incredible as everyone joined in singing along to classic World Cup songs 🎢🎀🌍 

We were also treated to some amazing singing and dancing performances from our wonderful guests, who truly stole the show and had everyone joining in! πŸ‘πŸ˜β€οΈ

A huge thank you to everyone who organised the day, The Friends For Life Group  and everyone who came along and joined us and made the event so special. βš½πŸ†πŸŽ‰πŸ₯³πŸŒŸ
