1 Issue 18 May 2015 The Exciting Vocational Day Service for Adults with Learning Disabilities Congratulations! To Mark B, Laura and Claire who recently received certificates for Work Skills. They are now volunteering at Colchester Garrison Saddle Club. See p2. Hello and welcome to Rhys We have ordered a new bus, due at the end of July! It will look like the bus in the picture above, but in Tempest Grey, it will have a lift, space for up to 3 wheelchair users and 6 other people. We visited Stanford Coachworks to choose colours and fabrics, and to see how they are going to adapt the bus for our needs. We can t wait! Well done to Laura, who overcame her fear of escalators on our visit to the Houses of Parliament recently! To find out more about the trip, see our Election Special!
