Each year, Godfrey Care’s Ashby House service in Burton-on-Trent organises a summer holiday for two of the people we support. JL and MT both look forward to an annual adventure, and both love the sounds, sights and sea air of a coastal resort.

This year, the two friends decided to take a trip together and picked the Porthcawl in South Wales as their destination. JL and MT were delighted with their choice, taking an instant liking to the lively seaside town and its many attractions.

The Ashby House support team booked a picturesque caravan park which provided the perfect base for exploring the area. Porthcawl’s funfair and arcade were the most eagerly anticipated items on the itinerary, and they certainly lived up to expectations! JL showed off his skills behind the wheel with a session on the dodgems while MT got immersed in VR gaming. In the evenings, JL and MT swapped the dodgems for the disco and showed off some impressive moves on the dancefloor.

Natalia Bloor, Service Manager at Ashby House, said:

“It was great to see JL and MT enjoying a holiday together – it’s really strengthened their friendship, and JL is already getting excited about the next trip! The Ashby House team did a fantastic job planning, organising and supporting everything. We’re already thinking about the next holiday and we can’t wait to see what JL and MT decide to do!”
