Two of us are independently mobile and one has a 4 wheeled rollator and another has a wheelchair which is used all the time. Two of us have our own cars which makes it ideal for long days out.

The staff team are trained with all service specific training and of the challenges that we face on a daily basis. Staff look at the best way possible to improve our lives and give us the best possible support needed.

We all have our different individual needs and enjoy doing our own thing. Some of us like to go shopping, look around shops and have a beverage and snack, whilst others like to do more an activity like bowling or seeing a movie. Either way we all like to be out during the day.

Occasionally we do enjoy doing activities together, such as BBQ’s or parties in the garden. We sometimes just have lunch in the garden together.
