What is the Smiles, Hearts and Pride Olympics?

The Smiles, Hearts and Pride Olympics is a celebration of the wonderful achievements and creative things people we support are doing whilst staying safe at home. You can collect stars and win prizes!

How can I participate?

All you have to do is send us photos and a short description of the fun activities that you are doing either by yourself or with your housemates. No activity is too boring, so do not underestimate anything that you are doing! We would love to hear from everyone!

How will it work?

By sending us your photos, you can collect stars and win prizes every month. Each individual activity will be worth one star.

How long will it go on for?

We will continue the Smiles, Hearts and Pride Olympics indefinitely! So start making a list of all the amazing things you are going to do once you no longer have to stay at home.
