Due to a staff shortage in our Housing Team, responses to queries may take a little longer than usual. At the moment, all telephone calls are being answered by our Repairs Customer Service Team, which means the person you speak to may not always be able to resolve your query straight away.

We’re sorry for any delays this may cause and really appreciate your patience while we work to get things back to normal. Thank you for your understanding.

Customers at our South Cambridgeshire Day Opportunities service wanted to enjoy and cook Christmas dinners with friends to celebrate our first Christmas here in Sawston and utilising our new accessible kitchen. Many customers cooked and served lunches. Carl said “ I am the best waiter ever“; and a special mention to Lucy and Lucy who managed to prepare and cook 15 fantastic lunches. Great teamwork 😊

Did you know that snow isn’t actually white, it’s translucent?

Customers at our Huntingdon Day Opportunities Service wrapped up their final Beat This session of the year in style, by DJ’ing their very own Christmas disco!

Everyone had chosen their own DJ name and practised mixing two of their favourite songs on the DJ equipment in preparation for the big day. We were treated to performances from DJ Giddles, DJ Pot Noodle, DJ Butterfly, and many more!

A huge thank you to Purple Horizons who made this possible! The disco was full of energy, with customers enjoying the chance to use the equipment, show off their DJ skills, and enjoy a good boogie together!! 💃 🎧🕺🎉🎄✨

Reindeer eyes change colors with the season – they transform from a golden-orange in summer to a rich blue in winter.

Today’s reindeer inspired design was by Josephine at our Day Opportunities service in Basildon.

A huge thank you to the Cromwell Museum in Huntingdon who made our Day Opportunities customers feel so welcome!!

Huntingdon was the birthplace of Oliver Cromwell, and the customers learned all about the town’s history and Cromwell’s legacy, as well as trying on his hat!

The volunteers who work there were so friendly and informative, and the group loved learning about Huntingdon where many of them live. Claire said, “I thought learning about Oliver Cromwell was really interesting, but I do not agree that he and parliament banned Christmas!”. A sentiment which we all agree with!! 🎩🏛️🎄🎅🤶
