Just a few pictures of our week of Christmas preparations here at Douglas Drive.
It was such a fantastic week of fun, laughter, singing and dancing!…..

Douglas Drive are officially ready to start the celebrations… It’s Chriiiiiistmaaaas!

Once again, our clients have done a fantastic job on this year’s tribute for Armistice Day.
It is now displayed in Stevenage Old Town (outside Cardies) and looks wonderful alongside all the poppies also decorating the railings. Well done everyone!

If you, or someone you know, would like further information about this group, please feel free to contact Rose or Karin on 01438 357227 or email admin@douglasdrive.co.uk

These are a few of the photos taken at the Stroke Support Hub Launch last Thursday… a big thank you to Claudia Griffin Photography for giving her time for free.

Thank you also to Mayor Jim Brown who officially opened the new Stroke Support Hub. Along with local councilors, Committee members, clients, family and friends, staff and volunteers who all helped make the Launch of our new hub a great success .

The group of 2024!

Today was the last day of our Tuesday Stroke Survivors Group. Lots of fun, happiness, laughter and even a few tears but, a fantastic day.

We had a good old sing-a-long with the wonderful Magenta Slipperz which everyone loved! – Thank you Magenta Hartley Hartley Music

We understand there are a few nerves about the start of the new groups next week but, Magenta sang a great song which meant a lot to us all and will definitely become our new mantra…. “Don’t worry bout a thing, ‘Cause every little thing is gonna be all right”
