What a fantastic Art Term the Service Members of SBHI Open Opportunity Service have had with their Art Tutor Will from DDLETB. 

Service Members enjoyed each and every class with Will and the support of the staff in OOS and were very proud of their recent work, displayed her on the wall of their new Centre. The class is now finished for the summer and everyone is looking forward to the new term in September. Thanks to all involved. #DDLETBImage attachmentImage attachment+4Image attachment

After a year of planning by our Respite and Recreation team alongside our Transport team, 3 SBHI staff accompanied 11 members on the first ever SBHI CRUISE this month!

What an amazing experience to be able to provide for our members 💙

The route was as follows:
• Pick up at Maldron Hotel, Newlands Cross and SBHI National Office
• Drive to Dublin Port in our three SBHI buses
• Ferry from Dublin to Holyhead
• Driving Holyhead to Southampton, stopping off for the night en route in Courtyard by Marriott in Oxfordshire
• Offloading passengers at Southampton Port and parking buses
• Getting on Cruise and setting sail for Amsterdam (4-night Cruise with P&O, including a walking tour of Amsterdam)
• The above then done in reverse to get home (stop-over on the way back was in Courtyard by Marriott, Staffordshire).

It was a great week, with plenty of laughter and fun and sunshine. 

Some feedback from our members, which we think sums up the week:

What I enjoyed about this trip was the freedom it gave us all to be away on a foreign holiday and being independent.

Best holiday ever with the best people ever. It was a blast!

It’s very rare that something exceeds one’s expectations and by God, it did.

Loads of memories that I’ll treasure forever.Image attachmentImage attachment+Image attachment
