March newsletter

March sees hopefully the beginning of spring which is always an exiting time for us at Point House as it means we can begin to plant the garden with all the vegetables and flowers for the summer. We are always very proud of our achievements.

With spring in the air this also means the day services will be able to go further afield over the next few months, to see what we get upto watch this space!!

Easter is just around the corner, a time for celebrating the resurection of christ and of course a time of lots of chocolate eggs!

Activities / Day-services News

We have been a busy bunch as per usual!! The life skills have been separated now so that each client receives undivided staff attention whilst fulfilling their chores, this is working very well already.

We have been out to lunch, out on shopping trips, to a museum, a stately home.
