Question (and there are no wrong answers): Do you like to be sky-high or keep your feet on the ground at camp? Or do you like both? We're good with all of the above, whether you're a camper or volunteer! Check out our upcoming camps in March* and April: CampBlueSkies.org * There are camper waitlists for March sessions. Apply anyway... people's plans sometimes change at the last minute. #CampsForAdults #DevelopmentalDisabilities

5 Reasons NOT to Move to Sewickley, PA 1. **The Overwhelming Charm Overload:** Brace yourself. Sewickley's irresistible charm and picturesque streets might just make you believe you're living in a Hallmark movie. Dangerously delightful! 2. **Community Events Galore:** If the thought of endless community events, farmers' markets, and local festivities fills you with dread, stay clear! Sewickley's vibrant community spirit is known to be highly contagious. 3. **Too Much Fresh Air:** With all those trees, parks, and trails, you’ll get tired of all that clean, fresh air. Who needs oxygen, anyway? 4. **Dangerously Good Schools:** The schools here are so good, your kids might just love going every day. Imagine the struggle of never playing the truancy card again! 5. **The Risk of Becoming Too Friendly:** Living in a place where neighbors become friends can be tough. You might find yourself with an unexpectedly full social calendar and an overabundance of homemade cookies. Proceed with caution! #SewickleySatire #TooCharmingForComfort #CommunityTooStrong

There’s still time to have your say on the Burnley Long Term Plan for Towns, which will see £20 million of funding being invested into Burnley. Following the first public consultation, 7 key areas have emerged as a priority, which are: 1. Investing in Youth – providing activities and facilities that give our next generation aspiration, focus and purpose. 2. Gateways and movement – improvements to the look and feel of our town making it even more welcoming and it easier to get around. Examples could include; public realm works, greening, cycling routes, and canal enhancements. 3. Our community – supporting our communities, the organisations that drive them, and the volunteers that give their time to make Burnley amazing, with a grant scheme for community led projects, enabling more good work to be done, piloting new ideas and building on existing ones. 4. Festivals and events – celebrating Burnley’s unique spirit, and our diversity with a range of distinctive festivals and events, taking advantage of some of our amazing indoor and outdoor spaces to include arts, culture & music. 5. Heritage and culture – connecting with our proud history, enhancing, restoring and re-using and re-imagining the town's built heritage and cultural assets. 6. Town centre and market regeneration – Revitalising our key town centre assets modernising, improving, and continuing the progress we have made over recent years. 7. Security and safety – interventions, such as wardens, and design features that make us all feel safer as we live, work and socialise in our town. To share your thoughts on these, please click here; https://lnkd.in/emWyDKww The survey closes on July 12th, so any feedback needs to be shared before then. #burnley #investment #burnleylongtermplan

I can't believe it's already a month since I started my new role at the Ammerdown Retreat Centre in Somerset! For those of you who don't know, I joined as Director in February and I am LOVING it! Set in the heart of the Somerset countryside, this beautiful sanctuary of peace is just 12 miles south of Bath and 16 miles from Bristol. The website is www.ammerdown.org At its heart, Ammerdown is about Hospitality, Peace and Reconciliation. It believes in a shared world; where diversity and different identities are cherished; where all can live free from the fear of violence and abuse, with dignity and respect; and where differences and conflicts are transformed peacefully. As well as delivering an expanding range of courses, from shorter events and reflection days to longer residential retreats, we generate important income by offering five modern meeting/conference rooms with AV equipment and hearing loops - these can cater for a range of meeting sizes from just a few people in a boardroom style up to 80 people in a conference setting. We also offer private stays on a B&B basis or with extra meals (and you will LOVE the Ammerdown catering!). We even have a large self-catering cottage available for holiday hire for up to 8 people. As we see the news each day, it seems clear that the pathways to peace and reconciliation are long and challenging, but also critically important. Please take a look and see where I'm working, but also whether any of the resources or conference facilities might be of interest to you, or to others you know. And please do share this information far and wide! Do let me know if you have any questions, or if you think there's anything we could be adding to our programme. Hopefully I'll see you soon! #ammerdown #ammerdowncentre #theammerdowncentre #peace #reconciliation #somerset #interfaith #socialjustice #sanctuary #careforcreation #conferencerooms #retreats

On June 30th, I will be visiting South Carolina's CAMP BURNT GIN -- an S.C. Department of Health & Environmental Control-funded overnight summer camp in Sumter County for children, teens, and young adults with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses -- to learn more about this wonderful and unique place, which I have been told has a tremendous origin story that I look forward to hearing about "live." This visit is chance to: 1. Understand the camp and its campers' needs during emergencies; 2. Help the camp and its campers understand the role of Mobile Medical professionals in maintaining their health, safety, and wellbeing; and 3. Introduce the camp community and Responders across SC to the R.U.S.H. Initiative -- "Rare & Under-Served Health" -- whose mission is to ensure that when you roll up to care for a child or young person in distress, you have critical clinical context about their special health needs and wishes, and the ability to share your insights with the next link in the patient's care chain, AT NO COST. (The R.U.S.H. Initiative's national training partner is SC's own Thorne Ambulance Service.) What could be better than these Children & Youth with Special Health Needs (CYSHNs) and their families feeling SO much more comfortable now that they've interacted with a firefighter, medic, or public safety officer outside of a moment of crisis? Please RSVP via the form below (and in the comments) -- we'll follow up with additional logistical details. SPACE IS LIMITED, but if you cannot attend, please tell a friend or colleague who you think might want to join us for this meaningful community experience. All Responder service types and levels are invited. Thanks!
