Avocet House held their first ‘Shine a Light’ open day for adults on 2 April 2025. The premise for this was for the young people to show their books, artwork, technical skills and ping pong prowess to key adults from Avocet House. 

Two of the young people were unable to attend as they were on an adventure in a tall ship on the high seas!  However, all the other young people and the Learning Centre adults put on a good show of the work and progress that has been made.

Everyone visiting enjoyed the experience with many of them mentioning that they were truly amazed at the quality and progress of all the young people.  Drinks and snacks were supplied and fun was had by everyone attending, it was clear they all enjoyed the experience. 

We are aiming for this to become a regular event in the Avocet House calendar, complementing the holistic approach of SES and ensuring all adults fully appreciate the hard work put in by all the young people.  Next term the care team will have a turn to showcase everything they’ve been doing with the young people.

The event proved to be a truly lovely end to a busy term.
