Supporting a local community cafe....

Supporting a local community café and wonderful charity. Gillingham Street Angels cafe sells delicious reasonably priced food in a friendly peaceful area. Just next to Premier Inn, Gillingham, it’s the perfect place to stop before Wayfield residents go for their weekly food shop. #TheKentAutisticTrust #KAT #autismawareness #autism #MakeADifference #inthistogether #supportworker #support #autismlife #charity #charityfundraising #donate #cafe #foodshop

A visit to Rochester Cathedral....

Last month one of our residents from Wayfield visited Rochester Cathedral and wrote his name on a dove. He went back to revisit last week to see his dove in the display with 1,000’s of others. It was a beautiful display of so many, and some calming peaceful music whilst viewing. #TheKentAutisticTrust #KAT #autismawareness #autism #MakeADifference #inthistogether #supportworker #support #autismlife #charity #charityfundraising #donate #cathedral #dove #beautiful #peace

Wayfield Road like to give anything a go, so the Gym equipment taster session went down extremely well. The favourite machine was the recumbent bike, definitely a big hit. #TheKentAutisticTrust #KAT #autismawareness #autism #MakeADifference #inthistogether #supportworker #support #autismlife #charity #charityfundraising #donate #gym #exercise
