What's better than a birthday at Whitegates? ⭐
Alice recently enjoyed celebrating her birthday at Whitegates with a little tea party, including some of her friends from respite. 🥰
Afterwards, she wanted to go to a disco, then was presented with a yummy cake! 🍰
This wasn't the first birthday Alice spent with us, she was also with us last year. Her birthday post last time received hundreds of likes! 💖
Manager Katie said: "Alice loves coming to respite and is really happy that she gets to celebrate twice, once with her family and then again when she comes to respite."
Happy birthday Alice! 🎉
