Feedback from Family Sessions;

"The event reflects the true spirit of community, partnership working and promotes the innovative opportunities being made available through the Aiming High - Transforming short breaks agenda".

We are hopeful that our activities throughout 2011 will attract similar feedback from those visiting and using our facility.
