Whitegates recently had a visitor from our Sherwood Day Service! 💖
Abby was a bundle of excitement on her first day at our respite service, taking a trip into town with her support workers and having a nice lunch out.
We also couldn't blame her for taking a peek at some nice sweeties while she was shopping!🍬
