AN UPGRADE

We have been in our new premises for almost four months. It seemed like a good time to ask the clients for their views on the move, here are their comments.

I do art and craft and I do tracing and colour things.

I do exercising with Matt when he comes, I'm good at it.

I am very good at crocheting.

We have nice people to work with.

DAWN

It's wonderful down here. We can do more things.

I like working with Matt doing exercises.

I'm sewing Superman on my own.

We have to keep it all tidy.

BERNI

I think it's good because it's easier for me

 to get here. I think it's nice.

It's big and better than the other place.

I enjoy coming here.

I love it, it's massive, it's really friendly. The staff are brilliant.

The atmosphere has got a buzz to it, I like to hear other people talking in the background.

Paul is absolutely brilliant and topnotch to everybody. If you feel down, all you've got to do is go to the staff. We are a close-knit family.

There are plenty of nearby shops to buy food for dinner from.

I've never been as happy as I am since we moved here. 

I can't believe how much more space we've got.

It's also much warmer here.

My journey is much easier, I only have to get a bus into town now.

I was always on edge up at the other place.

I felt vulnerable waiting for a bus outside the Enterprise Centre at Hanson Lane.
