We hope you will find plenty of opportunities to get involved and ways to enjoy spending time with each other and feel a part of our Click community. We have been delighted to see the development of some really close supportive groups within our membership and we wanted to start sharing their stories with you, so in each edition we will be shining a spotlight on a group who really makes the Click foundations of Being Together, Taking Part and Living Well come to life. CONNECTION CHANGES LIVES… Hello and a warm welcome to Click Nottingham. We hope you enjoy being a member. To get in touch with us about anything at all call 0115 9787846 Or you can write to us at: Click Nottingham, Castle Cavendish Works, Dorking Road, Radford, Nottingham NG7 5PN 2 Our Facebook page is regularly updated with news, reviews and photographs. www.facebook.com/ clicknottingham Follow us on twitter: @ClickNottm We have been listening carefully to your feedback on our last social calendar and we will take in what you have to say about this one. If you have suggestions or feedback, please talk to our Community Pioneer for your area. We have sent out a Member Survey recently which will help us collect feedback on your experience of Click, if you haven’t already – please take a few moments to fill it in for us. It will help us review and develop our service. Thank you. Take care of yourselves, and each other. Bye for now! To have close friends and feel part of something is just as important to our health and wellbeing as healthy food and exercise. This is what Click is all about and everything we do supports connection, friendship and participation. A few of our members have shared their own stories about the difference Click has made to them personally. It is so wonderful to see strong friendships grow within our membership. Being Together : Taking Part : Living Well 3 SPOTLIGHT ON nottingham YOUR STORIES Every day we hear positive feedback and stories from members who say being part of Click has made a positive difference to their lives. Members have kindly agreed to share their stories with us. If you’d like to share your story, we’d love you to get in touch! The Click members in Clifton have established a very close caring friendship group. Over time the group has come to depend on each other in times of need and they embrace the whole Click ethos of caring about each other. FOUNDATIONS AND VALUES “It’s a brilliant group – we just hit it off. We now call each other up and it feels like we are a big family.” Our Values Being Together: Click happens when people get together, make connections and feel part of something Our values describe the spirit in which we go about bringing the Foundations to life. Living Well: Click is about increasing our well-being and improving our feeling of satisfaction in life Kindness – generosity in attitude and action towards ourselves and others Consideration – care and interest for different people’s experiences and points of view Co-operation – being together in harmony, working together to make things better Involvement – making connections happen, being part of something, growing Click Celebration – aiming towards enjoyment, well-being and valuing each other 4 #Being Together “The great thing about Click is that the majority of us, although we all live in the Clifton area, had never come across each other. Click brought us together and gave us opportunities to spend time with each other and we all just ‘clicked’. The friendships we have made are terrific. It’s a lovely feeling knowing that I have friends who I can count on.” Our Foundations Taking Part: Click comes to life through the participation of members and staff in making things happen SPOTLIGHT ON “Everyone is so supportive; I feel happy in this group.” Carole is often busy running Click events. She hosts the Headstocks Coffee and Catch Up in Bulwell and has just set up a new Pub Games event there. She also helps out with a variety of other events and trips. “I love caring for people, and I know that with limited staff and lots of members to cater for, that I can do what I do best and help others, whether it’s hosting a coffee morning and making members feel welcome, or hosting an event and making sure everyone has a great time, or just giving someone emotional support and friendship… It’s given me T H IG the opportunity to make some L T O P S ON wonderful friends and take #Taking part in some brilliant events.” Part Being Together : Taking Part : Living Well 5 nottingham When Sally joined Click, she told us she was sitting at home letting her disability take over her life. Her mental health was suffering and she was struggling to find things to do with T others her age. SPOTLIGH SPOTLIGHT ON #Living Since joining Click a year ago, Well Howard has made some real positive changes in his life. He has attended numerous events including coffee mornings, day trips, a boat trip and a helicopter flight. ON g #Takint Par “Click has given me my fight back and opened up a whole new way of life for me. Volunteering has made a real difference to me. I love to meet people, to listen to them and offer them a shoulder when needed. But most of all, it’s important for me to be able to give Click back some of the kindness they have given to me. Because of Click I now have new friends and my physical and mental health has improved. I’ve even been able to come off some of my tablets.” “Click means I can wake with a smile on my face and a spring in my step.” 6 “Being a member of Click has made such a difference to my life, it has put me back on a level where I am meeting people to share new experiences with.” His sociable nature has made making new friends and trying new things not only joyful for himself but also others around him. He’s become quite an ‘encourager’ offering to give lifts to other members who do not have transport and has volunteered to help the team at events. We’ve seen Howard’s confidence grow and he has quickly become a very popular and kind-hearted member of the Click movement. New friendships, social activities and learning experiences have given Howard a new-found sense of purpose. His mental health has improved and his smile is back! GET INVOLVED Join the conversation!

Our Caribbean lunch at the Queens Walk Community Centre Café is a good first step and it’s easily accessible by tram so come and join us! GET INVOLVED! #TAKINGPART Being Together. Taking Part. Living Well: Clicks’ foundations encapsulate the benefits of being more socially active and responsible for our own health. I often hear how becoming a Click member has improved people’s outlook on life, providing a positive frame of mind through developing connections. Some of the most dramatic member stories come from those who have decided to take a lead in helping run Click by hosting events or supporting others. Finding a new sense of purpose is a powerful catalyst to overall wellbeing. Our ethos has always been centred around helping others in your community. Doing ‘good deeds’ makes us feel good and also open doors to opportunities that would have otherwise passed us by. 14 CLICK LOCAL Julie Community Pioneer I want Nottingham West to be bursting with opportunities for fun, theatre, nostalgia. I want to share useful information with members and help boost confidence and promote good wellbeing. I love seeing members supporting and welcoming each other and having lots of laughs that create the strong bonds of friendship. All of our events offer something unique for a range of personal preferences, and they are all growing and developing to offer a warm friendly inclusive environment where every one of us matters.

The house’s many rooms are deliberately displayed in the exact state in which the house was handed to the Trust, almost as if the owners have just left the room. The house is set in beautiful grounds with some lovely walks. There’s also a church, shop and restaurant. Please Note – National Trust members can gain free entry to the house and gardens but must let us know in advance and show a current membership card on arrival.
