Nothing makes us happier than seeing new staff off to their respective services, fully trained and ready to make a difference. 💖
Featuring new faces at our schools, a new Support Worker for our Bolsover service and even a returning member of our PBS team!
We had such lovely feedback from the group:
⭐ "Training was amazing, especially Alice and Holly - really love the mix of group work, slides and quizzes as it keeps you engaged."
⭐ "Lovely to meet other people who'll be working at SHS. Trainers are amazing! I've felt able to share experiences and learn from others."
⭐ "Fantastic training delivered by great individuals."

Getting Garden Ready! 🌳🌻
After months of nature taking over, the gardens at Mundy Street are finally coming back to life!
One team was busy clearing weeds, reclaiming the outdoor spaces, while another group has been potting a variety of vegetables, herb, and flower seeds for the months ahead.
It's been fantastic to see everyone working together, building skills, and taking pride in making the gardens a space everyone can enjoy.
Huge thanks to our group and support workers for their hard work and determination ⭐
