Our current service users were involved with the contents, from pictures they have painted to creating word searches, we love sharing the talents of our service users. With a few adjustments to font sizes and colour, (thank you for the feedback), we have successfully managed to print these off for our service users and their families, hand delivered by our care team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also send out staff newsletters monthly which 94% of staff like and enjoy receiving them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giving Back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know you can collect stamps which can raise money for a chosen charity?
