Laughter says more than words 😁
After supporting one of our Bolsover residents out in the community to get his favourite latte, MG wanted to enjoy the foot-spa.
We wanted to create a calm and positive sensory experience, so we put on some Cliff Richard in the background and offered a massage.
That was all well and good, until the bubbles started growing higher and higher! 🫧
One of our Support Workers said: "His face was a picture when the bubbles kept rising! He was in fits of laughter!"
Nothing makes us happier than seeing the people we support feeling comfortable and safe in their supported living environment. 🥰
And yes, we're a little bit jealous too!

Huge thank you to everyone that ran the London Marathon for us last month! ⭐
An incredible £9000 was raised for our charity. We don't take a single bit for granted.
Thanks to your support, we are able to continue to support autistic adults and children across the East Midlands and keep championing our vision for a world that values autistic people.
