Our Whitegates respite service can now provide a warm hot tub welcome to our service users.

Our Whitegates respite service in Worksop recently acquired a hot tub for our service users to enjoy.

As a respite service, we provide support to service users for short stays, which may be over a weekend, a few days or a few weeks depending on the needs of the service users.

Our Whitegates service has many features and facilities that are popular with service users, such as:

  • Large garden and exterior grounds
  • Outdoor gym
  • Trampoline
  • Two swings

We're thrilled to be able to add a hot tub to our list of activities for people to enjoy during their stay with us.

Katie Threlfall, Service Manager of Whitegates has said that "everybody has been enjoying the hot tub so far."

Some of the first service users to enjoy the new hot tub were Adam, Alice and Mariah, pictured above and on the right.

One family member commented:

"Adam had the best time ever - I think you may well struggle to get him out of it now!"
