We’re creating a rainbow mosaic

We’re using all the colours of the rainbow to create a very special piece of artwork to celebrate Learning Disability Week.

Art and Creativity – something we do every day – is the week’s theme and members of our ME Day Service are making a beautiful, multi-coloured large mosaic to decorate the garden at our Alexandra Road headquarters.

Aided by our super-creative Clubs Manager Abbi, members are taking it in turns to construct the colourful rainbow which will be completed with clouds and flowers.

It’s going to look absolutely fabulous!
