Darren is a Ward Manager at the Lowry Unit in #Prestwich. He mentored Rob, one of our trainees who progressed to an apprenticeship. Listen to how he feels the traineeship experience benefited the Trust. https://t.co/iy1zEKzQUx #NAW2019 #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #FireItUp

Our music group is going well at Honeysuckle Lodge. 90 minutes of singing and laughing. Amazing to see the effect of music on mood, especially when the group is client centred. @GMMH_NHS @AFGSupport #HoneysuckleSupremes
