BRADBURY HOUSE DAY CENTRE
December 2019 Newsletter
Charity no. 1064087

We had such a lovely party afternoon, everyone got involved. We enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch before we were visited by Mrs. Clause and Santa’s Elf delivering us all lovely presents. We then got our dancing shoes on and finished off with some singing and dancing.

All the Day Centre Staff would like to say a BIG thank you to all the carers and service users who very kindly sent in lovely boxes of chocolates and biscuits to thank staff for their hard work across the past year. Your generosity really is appreciated. Thank You.

Chevron

We also want to thank the staff at Chevron in Stafford for very kindly donating chocolate, wine and sherry for our Day Centre and Christmas Day clients to enjoy. They are very much appreciated and will be greatly enjoyed.

Happy Christmas from Ross & Alana
What a wonderful year we’ve had with our visits from Ross and Alana, they truly are part of the Bradbury House family. They are loved by both the clients and staff. Here’s to another year with them both.

Christmas Baking
We really have baked up a storm this month, its had the centre smelling delightful! Take a look at what we’ve been getting up to from Mince Pies to Chocolate Truffles

Christmas Arts and Crafts

What fun we’ve had this month with all the opportunities to make and create!! We’ve made Christmas Cards, planted Christmas bulbs, designed and finished our Christmas advent calendar. We love to see so many amazing creations. The benefits of art therapy have long been known and we see the results here every day. Arts and Crafts can lead to increased concentration, heightened self esteem and inspire positive feelings.
