Hartford Mill, Huntingdon.

This summer has been busy for Douglas Drive with our three groups headed off to three different places for their summer trips which spread over three consecutive weeks… phew!

Monday group visited Furzton Lakes in Milton Keynes, Tuesday group popped over to Poplars Garden Centre in Toddington and finally, Wednesday group chilled by the water at Hartford Mill In Huntingdon.

The weather was good to us as were the venues who looked after us well!

And now, time for a rest before starting to plan for next years summer trips!…

We had another successful Stroke Awareness Day yesterday … great to see the place buzzing!

It was lovely to see so many take the opportunity to have their blood pressure checked as this is very important in the prevention of stroke.

The weather was in our favour for the sponsored walk which clients, staff and volunteers took part in.

Final figure raised to be announced as money still coming in.
