We are absolutely delighted with how Oak Tree’s annual Summer BBQ and Games Day turned out this year! Our chosen theme was Hawaiian, and we were fortunate to enjoy such beautiful weather for the occasion.

It truly was a fun-filled day, with many happy memories made and shared. A heartfelt thank you to all our wonderful staff for dressing up, getting involved, and supporting in every way possible. A special mention goes to our Deputy Manager, Sarah, for her help in setting up and ensuring the day ran smoothly.

We are also grateful to the parents who joined us—it’s always a joy to share these special moments with you. And, of course, a big thank you to our service users; we hope you had a fantastic time and enjoyed the day’s activities.

Workshops will now continue as planned… until our next big event. Can anyone guess what it might be?

🌺💚☀️🥳🍔
