🎃 Halloween is swiftly approaching! 🎃

In preparation, we’ve harvested some of our amazing pumpkins and had a wonderful pumpkin carving session. Everyone made some fantastic jack-o’-lanterns and had a brilliant time!

If you’re running a bit late picking up a pumpkin, don’t worry — we still have a few available on our veg stall. Pop by and grab one before they’re gone! 👻✨

Hi everyone! 👋
Today we welcomed Rhythm sticks into our newly refurbished room after the unfortunate fire earlier this year. 🎶 Everyone had a wonderful time making music together — the smiles and laughter said it all!

A huge thank you to Rhythm sticks for such a fantastic day. We’re already looking forward to seeing you again next month, and in December for our Christmas Dinner Day!

Hi everyone! 👋
We’re excited to share that some of our attendees successfully completed a First Aid course on Monday! 🩺

They had a fantastic time learning essential life-saving skills, from performing CPR and putting people into the recovery position, to bandaging wounds with confidence.

We’re so proud of their enthusiasm and dedication to learning new and important life skills.

Hi Everyone,

Even after hours, there’s always someone keeping an eye on our site.
Our cameras picked up some unexpected visitors making their rounds the other night.
No PPE, no training, and definitely not clocking in… but we’ll let it slide this time.
I'm glad to report they seemed very impressed with the progress here at DGT and very much enjoyed our fruit and veg 😆I would recommend stopping by and grabbing what you can before our new visitors finish the lot.

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend.

🍎👩‍🍳 Hi everyone! With all the fresh produce we grow on site, it’s only fair we put it to good use in the kitchen. Today our clients rolled up their sleeves and spent the day baking apple cake and apple crumble – and the results were absolutely delicious! 🥧✨

They couldn’t be happier with what they created, and we couldn’t be prouder. ❤️

We still have plenty of fresh fruit and veg available on our stall – perfect for turning into tasty homemade treats or hearty meals. Pop by and see what inspires you! 🌱🥕🍏

Hi everyone!

We're only 65 signatures away from reaching 500 on our petition to have a pedestrian refuge island installed on Exeter Road. This would make crossing much safer for our clients and everyone in the community.

Your support could make a real difference — please sign and share to help us make the community a safer place! 🙌
