Thank you! ⭐ We want to say a huge thank you to Steve who, along with his group 'The Farnsfield Farcers' raised £800 for day service.
Steve sought to raise these funds for our Old Fire Station, where we support his son, Thomas.
The Farnsfield Farcers raised the money by cycling from Farnsfield to Southwell, calling at every pub on the way to collect for charity! 🍺
Pictured is the sign that Thomas made to say 'thank you' to his Dad for believing in the place that supports him. We're all very grateful. 💖

As the weather (finally!) gets a bit cooler, the people we support have built tons of positive memories of their time in the sun ☀️
Earlier this month, our Sherwood Centre crew enjoyed a lovely picnic together. 🍎
Others spent their time independently doing what they wanted to do. At Hilltop for example, LN chose to go for a walk in the community, even spotted a horse! 🐎
AJ also fancied a walk by himself while the sun was shining.
MG spent time on the swings. 💖
