This weekend, our young people and staff came together for a fantastic VE Day celebration in the local park – and what a day it was!
Not only did everyone enjoy the sunshine, delicious food (enough to feed an army!), and role play games, but the conversations were just as meaningful. The young people reflected thoughtfully on what life might have been like 80 years ago during the war, how families coped, and even connected those experiences to current global conflicts and how these might impact their own lives.
Staff went the extra mile to create an authentic wartime spread, complete with egg & cress sandwiches, spam bites, cheese & marmite swirls, the classic “spike the cheesy hedgehog,” and more cakes than anyone could manage (yes, really!).
A huge thank you to the incredible team who helped make the day such a success. The young people were a credit to themselves, and we couldn’t be prouder.
