Our Participants, Families & Carers Say It Best

Peter is doing things I never expected. Reading his diary and finding out that he is ordering and paying his own lunch, ordering things like chicken and avocado sandwiches and allowing people to put sunscreen on his head (he still fights with me everytime) is just amazing. His doctor also noted how much he had matured and how responsive he was to her.  She told me that the work the people supporting him are doing is paying off.

2020 was not an easy year for anyone  Knowing that Roger was in good hands and enjoying his time during lockdown gave us peace of mind.  We really appreciated the team’s efforts to include our family through Facebook and video calls.  This has helped us keep connected with Roger.

We are very appreciative of how adaptive all the support team are at OC which means Richard has been able to continue going – he loves it so much
