It’s been wonderful seeing these two enjoying their time together and forming such a lovely friendship, they are becoming quite the duo. Here’s to many more good moments ahead for them both!

Matthew has had a challenging year, but he’s made amazing progress since moving into his new supported living service. For the last four weeks he’s achieved all his weekend goals and proudly earned his big Milky Bar each time — and he’s already aiming for week five! This routine has helped him refocus and build trust, with everyone working together and keeping Matthew at the centre of every decision. His “I CAN DO IT!” photo says it all. Well done Matthew — we’re so proud of

What an inspiring arts and crafts session  Everyone really enjoys coming together on a shared project - great team work and brilliant creations.

Lovely words from Ntokozo Rukwava; Support Worker at Newton Close, on why she loves working at KAT.

A lovely moment helping to order all the most favourite foods from Asda – everything picked with a smile!

We had such a lovely day out in London following the Snoopy in the City trail! With a train journey spotting St Paul’s Cathedral and tracking down all 12 Snoopy sculptures, everyone had such a great time… and we were definitely ready for a rest and a hot cup of tea after such a busy day!

Our Beaver Lane & Jemmett Road services joining together for some amazing trips visiting Port Lympne’s beautiful, illuminated event, watching Elf at the cinema, meeting Santa and his reindeers, and rounding it all off with a lovely afternoon tea!

Megan and her keyworker Sara have been been building Megan’s skills through fun activities, like creating her very own special memory book, filled with all the adventures she’s been having at day service. Megan has really enjoyed choosing which photo's to add and talking about her adventures and has even started referring to staff as her friends, which just shows just how happy and settled she is, and how strong the bond is between her and the team. We’re so proud of her.

We had such a lovely time at Longleat Safari Park… The lights were beautiful, a really special for trip everyone who came.

A game of bowling and a relaxing drink in the café, David and Steven have become really great friends and enjoyed such a special trip out together. Wonder where the next adventure will take them?

Megan has achieved something amazing - visiting Build-A-Bear, a place she’s always dreamed of going. Visiting busy places like shops and towns has always been a big challenge and two years ago, this moment would have felt impossible. With the support of her team and the kindness of the staff in Maidstone, she had the best time creating her rainbow bear and sharing her excitement with her family. Moments like this remind us why we do what we do - helping people build confidenc
