Happy Easter weekend everyone. Our PHC family is going to enjoy a well earned break after putting on an amazing performance of their own show this morning. They were incredible in their costumes and dance moves. This show had been in the works for well over a year and today’s one off performance was amazing. We will share more next week but we would just like to say thanks again to our friends Sharon, Eleanor and Martina for the hours of preparation they helped the clients with. Enjoy your compulsory Sunday chocolate breakfast with a small helping of hot cross buns. PS we all enjoyed some Easter treats at our Mad Hatters lunch today.

Hi everyone, last week we farewelled someone very special - Martina, our wonderful art teacher and client facilitator. Martina had been with us for many years and in that time, she brought colour, kindness and laughter into our lives. She encouraged us to to be creative, and always made us smile and laugh with her lovely laugh. We'll miss her warmth, and the way she made every art session feel like a little adventure. Thank you Martina, for everything you've shared with us, you've made a lasting mark on our Centre, with best wishes and gratitude from everyone at PHC.
