Supporting our service users to meet their goals and have their own independence is a core aspect of the service we provide. ✨

A few months ago, we celebrated how Lucy, who we support at our Whitegates respite service, passed her driving test - and now we've supported her sister Emma as well! 🚗

Emma also attends our respite service and we couldn't be more thrilled of her efforts as she takes these next steps in her personal journey.

Well done Emma! 🌟
