We could not provide our service without their dedication and hard work, so would like to take this opportunity to thank them for everything they do.

We also extend our thanks to for providing the beautiful floral arrangements that helped us celebrate this important milestone.

October marks Domestic Violence Awareness Month - a time to reflect, educate and take action.

1 in 3 women, 1 in 6 men and 1 in 5 children will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. These are not just statistics, they represent real people living in fear, often in silence.

That’s why awareness matters.
It empowers people.
It educates communities.
It helps break the silence.

Mental health is a vital part of our overall well-being and deserves to be prioritised.

Remember, seeking help or additional support is a sign of strength, not weakness, and should be met with understanding and encouragement.
