Summer means holidays for many of us, and this is no exception for our service users: We incorporate holidays into service users’ care plans wherever possible. And over the years, we have supported some of the guys to take their first ever holiday, their first experience of the seaside, their first cruise or their first flight.→ Read the rest
We had been planning our big summer party for weeks and the date was set for 24th June. Each home was tasked with providing an activity or game that everyone could take part in if they wished. Families had been invited, Darren was booked for the music, Nicky for face painting and we’d ordered the food for the barbecue.→ Read the rest

We’re really proud of John* who took his first foreign holiday last year at the age of 31.

They flew from Luton to Heraklion in Crete and had the unavoidable holiday stresses of a crowded airport, flight delays (by four hours) and consequently arriving at their destination much later than expected.→ Read the rest
