As we embrace the arrival of warmer weather and the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors, it's important to remember to stay safe in the heat. In this edition, we will provide you with some valuable tips on how to protect your health during the summer months. Pathways of Hope is dedicated to making a real difference in people's lives. Our person-centered approach ensures that we provide tailored care to meet individual needs, empowering our clients to enjoy life and achieve greater independence, regardless of their circumstances.

Exciting news awaits as we prepare to expand our company by opening two new offices in Wolverhampton and Northampton. With this expansion, we would like to introduce you to our dedicated office team, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to support our carers and ensure that our clients receive the highest standard of care. Summer Health is of utmost importance, and planning ahead is key. As we approach the summer season, it's crucial to take care of ourselves in hot weather. The Met Office provides long and short-range weather forecasts to help us prepare. Visit their website at https:/www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast for the latest information. While we all look forward to the joys of summer, it's essential to be prepared for the potential dangers of high temperatures. Protecting your skin from the sun is crucial, as sunburn can increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Remember to wear sunscreen, regardless of your skin type, and take necessary precautions to stay safe under the sun. "I love how summer just wraps its arms around you like a warm blanket." - Kellie Elmore Here's a refreshing summer treat for you to enjoy: Try making watermelon and kiwi ice lollies. Simply blend the flesh of half a small watermelon, pour it into ice lolly moulds, and freeze. Next, puree three peeled kiwis and add a layer of the puree on top of each lolly. For a vibrant watermelon rind effect, darken the remaining puree with green food coloring and pour a thin layer on the top of each lolly. Freeze until ready to savor. In the spirit of celebration, we recently marked Coronation Day in the office. Our team dressed in red, white, and blue, and indulged in a traditional Victoria sponge cake to commemorate the occasion.
