Back from providing Urban Saints additional needs training for Ashley Baptist Church (New Forest), local churches, and a Boys Brigade group from Dorchester!

Great times with 46 people exploring how to support children and young people with #additionalneeds, and their families, in any context. 😃

James has made a start on his Christmas card and presents… We take it slowly here, maybe three or four presents a day, so as not to overwhelm him. Today so far he has opened his card, a light box, a Minion toy, and a bottle of cake baking mix ingredients (for another baking adventure!) 🎅🎁🎄

James 'The Shredmeister' has been in action again this afternoon. Another full bag of shredding dealt with, well done James! 🗑️🥳
