Did you know we’ve got our very own bowling alley and games arcade on site — and they’re completely free for our service users to use? 🎳🎮

Did you know we’re all fire-safety trained here at Aera? 🔥
And that training follows us into the Genesis Centre too — with Marianna and Emma leading the way as our amazing Fire Marshalls!

…although it seems our naughty elves aren’t taking their training quite as seriously as we do! 😅🎄🧯

Today’s topic was all about personal hygiene! The girls all joined in brilliantly, took part in the discussions, completed their tasks and each received a certificate and gift bag for all their hard work.✨

Well done girls — you smashed it! 🩷

Well, the weather has been absolutely awful today! 🌧️💨
We couldn’t nip out to fetch the ingredients we needed for our baking class, so we switched things up — and it turned out lovely!
Instead, we decorated biscuits and made some Christmas tree cones! 🎄🍪✨

Sometimes a change of plan makes the best memories!

🐾 We had the best visitor today… NIKO BEAR! 🐾
Niko is an autism assistance dog and he absolutely loved his time with us — especially all the strokes, cuddles and of course… the treats! 💙🐶
