Ready for the bank holiday weekend? 🎉

Whatever you have planned, we hope it's a good one! Our residential services operate 24/7, supporting our residents to do what they enjoy.

Sometimes at home, but sometimes on day trips like the recent one we took to Thoresbury Hall.

Residents were excited to see the Royal Lancers museum and explore everything cavalry-related.

Such a great trip! ⭐

What's better than a birthday at Whitegates? ⭐

Alice recently enjoyed celebrating her birthday at Whitegates with a little tea party, including some of her friends from respite. 🥰

Afterwards, she wanted to go to a disco, then was presented with a yummy cake! 🍰

This wasn't the first birthday Alice spent with us, she was also with us last year. Her birthday post last time received hundreds of likes! 💖

Manager Katie said: "Alice loves coming to respite and is really happy that she gets to celebrate twice, once with her family and then again when she comes to respite."

Happy birthday Alice! 🎉
