Minibus Trips<\/h1>\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Our home has regular access to one of our four modern and well-equipped minibuses.\u00a0 The professional drivers liaise with the Companionship Team and residents to understand their preferences and provide access through half-day or full-day trips, getting out and about to enjoy the local sights, often taking packed-lunches, snacks, hot coffee and tea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

A Great Way to Maintain Dignity & Independence<\/h4>\n

Getting out and about is a necessity for us all, both in terms of mental and physical health.<\/p>\n

Popular with many residents, our home offers regular minibus outings into the surrounding area where a variety of trips are organised by our Companionship Team, providing the opportunity to visit and explore new places.<\/p>\n

These trips are a great chance to get out and enjoy some of the wonderful places that the local area has to offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Building Friendships & Sharing Experiences<\/h4>\n

Minibus trips are a great way to connect with fellow residents, building friendships over shared experiences and adventures.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s a trip to the local pub, a visit to the seaside for fish and chips, or a day out taking in a majestic cathedral, connection to life outside the home is a vital part of day-to-day life for our residents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
