A Positive Start to the Summer at Arc!

At Arc, we believe in celebrating the small wins, the kind gestures, and the moments that remind us why we do what we do. Internally, we have a Positivity Board where we regularly share uplifting updates with our team. This time, we wanted to open that positivity up and share it with our amazing donors, supporters, and wider community. Here’s a look at some of the wonderful things that have happened across Arc since our last Newsletter in March:

• This Easter, thanks to the incredible generosity of Claims Consortium Group, Daffodil PR & Communications, and Asda Bridgwater, we were able to gift Easter Eggs to all 170 of our clients. It was a simple but powerful reminder that there are people out there who truly care and it brought alot of smiles all around.
• Our brilliant team at Lindley House have been feeling the love, with messages of appreciation and beautiful flowers flowing in. It’s a heartfelt tribute to the incredible work they do every single day, and it’s so well deserved.
• A huge shoutout to John and Rob in our kitchen, who have been serving up delicious meals using generous donations from local businesses. And we can’t forget Brenda, our weekend volunteer, whose famous cakes continue to be a highlight! We’re also proud to share that our kitchen team recently earned a glowing 5-star Health & Hygiene Award, a testament to their hard work and dedication.
• Samantha Jones, our dedicated Armed Forces Housing Support Officer, has been out and about in the community championing local initiatives and organising special outings for Veterans. She’s even secured an allotment for Veterans and clients, a new project we’re excited to share more about in the coming months!
• Across many of our properties, clients have been rolling up their sleeves and embracing the warmer weather by cooking wholesome meals and launching mini garden projects with help and encouragment from their Support Workers. From homegrown veggies to community bonding, it’s been wonderful to see green spaces and spirits grow.

It’s been a season of generosity, connection, and growth and we’re so grateful to everyone who plays a part in our mission. Thank you for your continued support and belief in what we do. Here’s to even more smiles, shared moments, and exciting green fingered projects ahead!
