Under the Sea... Life! 🫧🦈🦀
Our Hamilton day service attendees recently visited the National Sea Life Centre.
Everyone loved getting to know all kinds of sea-life and aquatic environments, stopping off for a spot of ice cream after they were done.
Fun, educational, and fascinating to get to know creatures great and small. What a trip!

Hiring! ⭐ We're looking for Autism Support Workers to join our fantastic team in Whitwell.
This is a role where two days will never be the same, where you'll be supporting autistic people to develop independent living skills, manage anxieties and live life to the fullest.
🍃 Like Joanne, who believes in people being kind to one another, and has grown so much in the past year with her gardening and cooking.
🍷 Or Stephen, who likes company when he pops to the local pub for a sherry.
