Caroline from our Nottingham residence has just spent a lovely week at Scarborough with Support Worker Mandy. 🌈

The weather wasn't the best, but they still enjoyed ice cream, arcades, dancing, shopping and Caroline won a game of 'Guess that Song.'

Thanks to the entertainment crew, who can be seen pulling their best poses for their photo with Caroline. Cheers for the great week! 🎉
