This time last week, we were celebrating 70 years of Plymouth Highbury Trust at our Summer Coffee Morning 🎉
And what a fantastic day it was! We were joined by so many lovely people, with plenty to enjoy 🙂☀️
We had the most delicious cakes, lovingly made by one of our very own staff members, amazing music and singing from Plymouth Music Zone, as well as some very special alpaca guests from Lakemoor Alpacas
The Deputy Lord Mayor, Angela Penrose, so kindly joined us for the celebration, taking the time to chat with guests and learn more about the work we do.
Our CEO also had the pleasure of presenting two of our longest-serving Trustees with flowers to say thank you for their dedication and support over the years ❤️ Their commitment and involvement with Highbury have contributed so much to the charity we are today, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they have given.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along, to all the organisations who generously donated raffle prizes, to all the wonderful staff who helped make sure the day ran smoothly, to Plymouth Post for sharing our story and taking photos and, of course, to our amazing service users for helping to make the day so special.
We are delighted to share that we raised over £900 from the cake sale and raffle... the que for the cakes was endless and the team on raffle duty were beyond busy! Thank you to the team who worked so hard 🤗
We are incredibly proud to have been doing what we do for 70 years - supporting people with learning disabilities to access the care, experiences and opportunities they need to live life to the full.
Here’s to celebrating 70 years of making a difference, and to many more years to come!
