While we were out, we took the opportunity to speak with members of the public about the #MyVoteMyVoice campaign, and the work we do within the community, helping to raise awareness and encourage participation locally.

We just about had time for a quick drinks break, too!

A bit of a rainy day activity for Graham, who's completed his new Marvel jigsaw this week.

No need for a full team of Avengers, just the odd bit of direction from Shared Lives Carer, Sue!

Great job, Graham. 🧩🙌
