A resident at Godfrey Care’s Field House service in Burton-on-Trent had a lorryload of fun when the support team arranged a visit to a truck repair shop.

Nick is well-known for his love for all kinds of vehicles and his particular interest in the larger variety. The Field House team came up with an idea to indulge Nick’s passion when they contacted Hartshorne Motor Services, a local company which specialise in the maintenance of Volvo trucks and buses. They requested a tour of the premises, currently home to a range of HGVs, and were delighted when the kind people at Hartshorne Motor Services obliged with an offer to facilitate a visit that same day!

Nick was in his element throughout the trip. He had a good look at all the trucks and even got to sit in one of the cockpits!

Aaran Fryer, Registered Manager at Field House, said:

“We’re very grateful to Hartshorne Motor Services for accommodating Nick’s visit. They were very friendly, welcoming and generous with their time. Nick made friends with the manager of the site and had an incredibly enjoyable time. He has been talking about the trip every day since!”

The outing demonstrated the value of creative thinking and a proactive approach in facilitating life experiences for the people we support. Well done to the Field House team and Hartshorne Motor Services for delivering the goods!
