#100daysofwalking 🚶🚶♀️![]()

Lynda Willis, the mother of incredABLE participant Jordan, runs her own business Customer Sense Training and Consultancy, and embarked on the #100daysofwalking challenge in the New Year in a bid to get out more during the constraints of lockdown. She has been visiting local parks, canals and country lanes. 🌿 🌳🌱![]()

Lynda said: “I spotted a post on Facebook about it on 1st January and decided to give it a go. You are really supposed to walk for 100 consecutive days but I’m a fair weather walker so won’t walk when it is pouring. The ten mile radius is a challenge but it really makes you explore what is within that area. Crumlin Glen, Lurgan Park and Broadwater Canal are favourites as well as just walking on local country roads. ![]()

“Jordan is my walking companion and it’s a great way to ensure that we both get some exercise every day which is good for both mental and physical health. By posting a picture every day on Facebook, it is also a great way of keeping in touch with folks too during lockdown.” ![]()

Such lovely news coming from our Craigavon social enterprise Cafe incredABLE @ South Lake! Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day everyone!!! 🥰A Hug In A Mug From A Stranger! ![]()
![]()
Today is Random Act of Kindness Day and to mark the occasion, we thought we’d let you know that we’re joining the Suspended Coffee Movement. ![]()
![]()
When we re-open later this month for weekend takeaway service, we will be offering suspended coffees here at Café incredABLE @ South Lake social enterprise in Craigavon’s state-of-the-art South Lake Leisure Centre.![]()
![]()
What is a suspended coffee? It is simply a coffee bought to a deserving person by a kind stranger. This act of charity is believed to originate from the caffè sospeso (suspended coffee in Italian) tradition of Naples where a customer who had experienced good fortune would pay for two coffees, but drink only one, leaving the second one behind as an act of kindness for someone unable to afford a hot drink. ![]()
![]()
To participate, all you have to do is let our staff know at the till that you would like to buy a suspended coffee. Then, if you wish, leave a message of kindness on our noticeboard to brighten up someone’s day. ![]()
![]()
To receive, just check at the till if there’s a suspended coffee available. You don’t have to explain why you would like it – we don’t need to know. Then, along with your hot drink, choose a random message of kindness and enjoy your day! ![]()
![]()
Watch this space! We’ll have more updates on this very special project very soon! ![]()

We were very grateful to have not one but two final year occupational therapy students from Ulster University on placement with incredABLE recently…although it had to be conducted remotely due to Covid-`19. Maeve McKavanagh and Orla Quinn explain what their placement entailed: ![]()
![]()
“Part of our course involves a role emerging placement in an organisation where there is currently no occupational therapy service. We felt the staff and service users at IncredABLE could benefit from the knowledge and skills of an occupational therapist. This was a five-week placement where we implemented the occupational therapy process within the service. ![]()
![]()
“Each week we created several resources for staff to support them through lockdown and current pressures due to Covid-19. Some topics we focused on included; resilience in lockdown, stress and anxiety management, mindfulness and tips for good well-being. ![]()
![]()
"Another main focus of our placement was giving the IncredABLE staff an introduction of the sensory system as many service users may present with sensory processing difficulties. We hosted a live session explaining several sensory strategies which staff can implement into their sessions with service users. ![]()
![]()
"This placement was a great learning experience which will contribute to our future occupational therapy practice. We really enjoyed our time at IncredABLE and we hope to volunteer in the future when the restrictions are eased.” ![]()
![]()
We would be delighted to welcome Maeve and Orla into our volunteering team in the future when government restrictions ease. If you would like to find out more about volunteering, please go to: incredable.org.uk/volunteer-2/![]()
