MB

Take MB’s story as an example. With the support of Lester Hall Apartments, she achieved her ultimate goal of going on holiday overseas after working towards smaller goals, such as accessing public transportation and visiting busier places. Her most recent accomplishment? Enjoying her first UK holiday to Skegness! This significant achievement has paved the way for her next goal: a holiday out of the country.

RS

Another success story is RS’s journey with social anxiety. With encouragement and determination, he gradually overcame his fears, starting with small steps like visiting the local shop and eventually taking the bus to the city centre. The support team at Lester Hall Apartments was instrumental in his progress.

In addition to these remarkable stories, Lester Hall Apartments also hosted a BBQ event to kick off summer, complete with a bouncy castle and face paint station assisted by one of the people we support. The perfect opportunity for everyone involved – including commissioners, families, and individuals supported by the service – to come together and have some fun in the sun.

“Thank you to everybody who visited, and to for those who supported in the organising, setting up and preparation. We had so much fun. We absolutely cannot wait to do it all again next yea!”
