Happy birthday MG! 🎉
Yesterday our Bolsover residence celebrated a birthday party for one of the fantastic people we support, complete with cake! 🎂
If you know MG, you know that the Grinch is his absolute favourite character - and guess who showed up for his birthday party? 😇💚
MG was so excited that he spent the evening with his housemates and invited next door too!
Everyone had a wonderful time! 💖
