Did you see our old fire station in the latest Worksop Life?
We've been so proud of the work of our staff, service users and partners to officially launch the new day service this month.
Service users have been gardening, playing music, having water fights and taking some lovely outings in the nice weather.
Special thanks to our Estates, Maintenance and Painting & Decorating team for their hard work getting the building ready for service users and to support staff at the service who worked hard to help the people we support navigate the change.
Thanks also to the Masons Lodge, Pronto Rugby and the Sage Publications Charity Scheme for their donations to the service.

Lee's trip to Skegness! ☀️ Lee at our Hill Top service recently had a fantastic trip to Butlins in Skegness where he enjoyed:
🏖️ Beach trips and buying souvenirs
🏘️ Enjoying time outside his beautiful lodge
👻 Ghost train rides (his favourite!)
🎨 Pottery painting
💃 Watching shows
If you've followed us a while, you've probably seen quite a lot of Lee and that's because we love seeing his smiling face! 🥰

It's Sprouting Season! 🌻
Adam and Gardener Jess planted many lovely plants and veg while our day service was at the Dukeries, but they've really bloomed at the Old Fire Station!
This week they've picked what was ready and other people we support have helped making sure they were watered everyday.
Now to wait for the pumpkins! 🎃
