Decorate & Bloom

Reconnecting beyond the caring role.

Tuesday 13 October 2026 Lurnea Community Hub Creative wellbeing for carers

Participants pose together with their decorated cakes at the Liverpool Council Carers Week event. — Our Liverpool Carers Week gathering, one cake and one conversation at a time.

A moment for carers

On 13 October, we brought Decorate & Bloom to Liverpool City Council’s Carers Week at Lurnea Community Hub.

Built around cake decorating and conversation, the session was designed to give carers time to pause, create and connect. The photographs tell the story: hands at work, colourful creations and moments shared around the table.

It’s part of what we do at The Bloom Initiative — creating welcoming experiences that remind carers they matter too.

The purpose behind the gathering

Carers deserve space to bloom.

Our creative wellbeing experiences are designed to reduce isolation, encourage connection and create space to breathe. We bring this approach to our Bake & Bloom sessions and our community partnerships.
