Last week, our Youth Ambassador Dan hosted a Small Talks session in support of Mental Health Awareness Week.

With bacon sarnies, hot drinks and plenty of chat, staff, residents and locals took time to talk to each other over a cuppa.

A big thank you to Dan for leading the session and to everyone who came along.

Doesn’t Dan look great?

Our Youth Ambassador Dan has been out suit shopping with his Housing Support Officer, and thanks to YMCA Cornwall’s support, he’s now ready for a very special occasion.

On 8th November, Dan will attend the Remembrance Day commemorations at the Cenotaph in London. We’re incredibly proud of everything he has achieved and how far he's come and delighted to help him prepare for this important event.

Looking sharp, Dan!

A big well done to our residents who got stuck into the Thursday Baking Club last week, making a delicious batch of cookies together.

Baking Club is a chance to learn new skills, build confidence and have fun, with a few tasty treats along the way.

Thanks to our amazing Housing Support team who run the club for our young residents.

Don't they look yum!
