We enable support that makes a positive impact with days, stays and lives, including Bury Shared Lives.

Whatever you need from life, we will help you to get there, with person centred support for adults across the Bury area with Persona and with Bury Shared Lives. Whether you or someone in your life needs support with living with Dementia, learning disabilities, extra care, short stay (respite) or older people's day services, contact us and if we can't help, we'll put you in touch with someone who can.

An autumn welcome from Hoyles!

We've been crafting, writing, cutting, painting, scrunching, drawing and sticking to make this pumpkin patch, scarecrow, mushrooms and the tree covered with red, orange and green leaves.

We've brought the sounds and sensations of crunchy leaves and these gorgeous autumn colours inside for everyone to enjoy in our beautiful artwork that's perfect for touching as well as looking at.

Time with friends, being creative and noticing the seasons - all these things can improve our mood and health. Are you looking to meet new people or try new things?

If you're over 50 and live in the Bury borough, you can refer yourself to Grundy Hub Get Social and start making new friends, or just read the paper in good company and get a tasty hot dinner.

Happy Halloween from all of us at The Green Café!

People working on their skills placements with Persona Employment Pathways set the games up, called the Bingo and then joined in with the spooky games!

What's a skills placement?
It's a way to learn job skills and get a qualification if you want to earn money or volunteer.

Persona Employment Pathways can help you with jobs skills if you are over 18, you live in Bury and you have a learning disability or you're neurodivergent. We can do to help you get a job or volunteer role you love. We can:
-help people decide what's important to them
-offer one to one support finding a job or volunteer role and for six months after starting
-teach people general job skills and the skills they need to do their new role
-support with a national qualification

Get in touch and we'll see if we can help you, or signpost you to someone who can!

We all voted on a country to learn more about and we chose India!

We enjoyed tasting several different, fresh curries, gulab jamun and other Indian sweets and cakes. It was interesting to learn about traditional costume, how to wear a sari and talking about different cultures and traditions.
