"Hello Autumn – Farewell Summer!" | | |
| What a wonderful summer it has been, one of the warmest and sunniest we’ve enjoyed in years! At Sustain UK, we’ve been making the most of the season, keeping our tenants active and connected with some exciting activities. |  | Our highlight was a delightful trip to the beautiful Botanical Gardens. Set in the leafy heart of town, the afternoon was spent strolling through stunning greenery on a guided tour, taking in the sights, scents, and serenity. We rounded off the day with a well-deserved cuppa, sharing stories and reflections on the beauty around us.
A big thank-you to the tenants and Support Worker who joined us, your company made the day even more special.
✨ If you couldn’t make it this time, don’t worry, there are plenty more exciting events on the horizon. Keep your eyes peeled for our next adventure! |
