Colten Care's Partnership with Langside School

We are proud of our partnership with our neighbour, Langside School. The school is run by a Dorset charity, Diverse Abilities, and specialises in educating children with multiple learning disabilities and complex medical needs. So far, we have contributed to a new sensory room and have given the exterior a bright and vibrant paint job. Recently, the school celebrated its 60th birthday, for which we held a fabulous evening at Bourne View to celebrate.
