“Dreams can come True”

We are currently working on a dreams can come true campaign and would like to encourage everybody to think about something they would like to do.

We have recently joined a new initive, established by FANS Network,called the Wishing Washing Line.

This is a washing line located in Tesco’s and has our Resident’s wishes on.

Residents wishes are attached to the washing line and members of the local community see if they are able to help to achieve them.

We are delighted to have already achieved Doreen singing in the local choir at Church just 5 days in to us joining.

“Angel of the Month” for Novemberis Simon..

Please continue to vote for your Angel of the Month.

This really shows our appreciation to all the staff.
