COVID-19 may have shut down operations in the workshops for many of our residents with learning disabilities but they still are hard at work for our customers at home.  We've created a packaging workshop and our wonderful community strives on through COVID to bring the local down packaged deliveries.  What a brilliant effort.  

Our residents have been managing the lockdown and social distancing well.  Our house coordinators have been thinking up all sorts of activities to help with our mental wellbeing in community.  We know that nature brings us joy and happiness, it calms the mind and enlivens the spirit.  What better than a bit of tree bark art?

We would like to offer a Thank You to all of our wonderful new members of staff who came to work with us when our volunteers had to leave.  The community was turned around within one week, by two weeks we had a fully trained employed staff structure.  8 new members of staff in total joined us at the end of March/beginning of April.  Our existing staff worked hard to ensure the community could continue in very difficult times, they provided support, advice and assistance.   You can tell by the smiles of our community members that the hard work of our staff, old and new, have brought joy, fun and caring to the community.  Our mood has been brightened by you all, the weather has warmed and even the flowers are showing their appreciation by blooming beautifully for us.   

Its October.   We're seeing the colder weather, the nights are darkening and the autumn has truly set in.  As the leaves fall our baker reflects the beauty of the season for our customers up with some leafy designs.  She's so talented!
