Never has a coffee and gingerbread man tasted so good!
PiP are back delivering community visits with our students, adults with learning disabilities and autism and supporting them to reintegrate into their local communities.
Danny, PiP student pictured above, has been shielding since October due to a change in government guidelines that recommended people with Down's Syndrome stay home. Danny is super sociable and really misses being out and about. Since we've started visits he has been to the pub for lunch with his friend Marcio and their keyworker and been going on walks in the local area.
He is delighted to be back out supporting local businesses with his hard-earned money from his job as being one of our PiP Receptionists.
