Sherwood Centre celebrates bonfire night

1000006853

Our Sherwood Centre celebrated bonfire night this week.

Service users rose to the challenge of making treats to mark the occasion, with many of them volunteering in the kitchen to make bonfire toffee and some chocolate apples.

After they had finished their cooking, service users grabbed their sparklers and enjoyed some time in the garden.

Sarah Mcilvenna, Assistant Manager at Sherwood Centre, said:

"There were lots of smiles, we never have a dull day!"

These bonfire night celebrations have taken place after a week of pumpkin picking and party celebrations that took place over the Halloween period at the end of October.

Sherwood Centre is just one of four day services that we provide for autistic adults and is based in Mansfield Woodhouse. We also have Mundy Street in Heanor, Hamilton Centre in Nottingham and Dukeries in Worksop.

Over 25?

If you or somebody you know is over 25 and shows signs of autism, the next step is to book an appointment with your GP. Make sure your diagnosis is the only thing you are seeing your GP about. If you try to mention it during a consultation about another subject, your GP may not address it fully.
