It has also given me a timestamp for my week (something to look forward to), continuing stimulation and interaction with others. I believe I make a contribution – in a small way- which in turn gives me satisfaction that my time is well spent.” For more information contact us on 0300 365 0304 or fill out an application form using one of the links above.
