Marc, Jamie and Aaron who are supported at our Old Fire Station day service took a trip to the local Worksop Miners Welfare this week.
We loved seeing them support their local community by putting up posters for today's entertainment and ensuring lights and stage equipment were working well.
It was valuable work experience, but they also enjoyed drinks, with Marc having a go at trying beer and Jamie checking out Bingo ✨

We've been absolutely blown away by the amazing talent of one of our Sherwood users! 😯
Warren from our Sherwood Centre day service has been working off his canvas for 18 months, mixing the colours and characters of Mario and Sonic to produce this beautiful masterpiece. 🎨
We love displaying artwork from our services, and fortunately, Warren agreed to donate this piece to our training centre - just as long as he gets to paint another one!
We're in awe of his talent and so grateful to Warren for sharing his art with us. 💖
