It's been an incredible week at Whitegates! ⭐
Ashton graduated college, and spent his birthday morning getting presented with a delicious chocolate cake for his efforts. 🎂
Morgan took the next step in developing her independent living skills by not only fixing breakfast for herself, but helping to cook it for everyone staying at Whitegates. 🥓
Finally, service users Nick and David spent weeks rehearsing for our summer party. You can watch their rehearsal performing 'Ferry across the Mersey' on our website 🎵
