Last week, our Sherwood Centre was visited for some filming related to OneFest ✨
Our service users loved it last year. David was keen to find out if the bubble fairy would be making another appearance. Thomas fondly remembered singing karaoke on stage!
OneFest is a 4-day festival that features singing acts, comedy, theatre performances and more, all in support of celebrating neurodivergence in our communities.
We're excited to go again this year!
