This weekend our amazing volunteer, Steph, is taking on the Lindisfarne Raider Half Marathon! 🏃♀️💚
Steph gives up so much of her time to support Barnability and our incredible young people. Whether she’s encouraging others, lending a hand, or simply being there when she’s needed, she makes a huge difference to our charity.
This weekend it’s her turn to be cheered on!
Not only is she taking on this incredible challenge, but she’s also raising money for Barnability to help us continue creating opportunities for young people with additional needs.
Steph, we hope you have an amazing race, enjoy every mile, and know that we’ll all be cheering you on from the sidelines.
To us, you’re definitely a superhero. 💚🦸♀️
Here is her fundraising link for anyone who would like to support Steph:

It was fantastic to have Charlie join us at today’s session! 💚💙
It’s so special to see our younger athletes inspired by their older brothers. Charlie is already desperate to start coaching and can’t wait to earn his very own Barnability trainee coaches T-shirt! We love seeing the next generation so excited to get involved. 🌟

Trust isn’t given—it’s earned. 💙💚
At Barnability, we build trust first—because that’s where confidence begins.
On Friday, two of our trainee coaches overcame their fear of lying back in the water. With patience, support, and trust, they proved to themselves they could do it.
We’re incredibly proud of how far they’ve come. 🌊✨

A little act of kindness can make a big difference. 💙
A kind shop owner gifted James a few shells for his collection, even though the display wasn’t for sale and meant a lot to her.
A thoughtful gesture that made a lovely day even more special. So a big shout out to this fantastic little shop in Amble. Thank you! 🐚
