A trip to the West End
Service user Adam has recently been on a trip to London to see a West End Show after already visiting London earlier in the year to see Aladdin. Adam has lots of DVDs and loves musicals. Adam’s staff team supported him to choose which show he would like to see and came into the office where I supported him to plan his trip including the show, hotel and transport. Adam said that he really enjoyed the trip and would like to look further afield for the ultimate experience, maybe even New York!

World Autism Awareness Week donations
We’re very proud to receive a letter from the National Autistic Society thanking us for our donation of £150.00 which was raised from the disco in April. We originally raised £142.00 but this was rounded up all in aid of a great cause.
Another thank you to everyone involved, the money raised will make a real difference.

Service Users at the core of our in-house training
John has been delivering our in-house Health and Fire Safety training with me for just over a year. He joins me during our Induction Training Programme and this provides a great opportunity for our new starters to see how the people we support are involved in our training.
Over the last year, John’s confidence has really grown. He is also becoming quite an expert on health and safety and really enjoys reading the feedback he receives from the staff who attend the training.
He has also started contributing in our Care Values and Autism Awareness training. During these training sessions, John shares his experience of being on the autism spectrum and is happy to answer questions from our staff. He talks about his busy schedule, his likes and dislikes and he enjoys meeting new staff. John is an avid Peterborough United supporter, so the conversation often turns to how they have done this week!
It is always a pleasure working with John and his presence and contribution to our training is greatly valued.
