An opportunity to make someone smile is never missed at our Alan Shearer Short Break Centre – even the minutes waiting for a lift to school in the morning can be packed with fun and adventure.
While regular guest, Adam, waited for his usual ride to school, Short Break Manager, Jackie Dunn, wasted no time in packing in some extra entertainment by reading a few of his favourite stories.
Adam, who is visually impaired, was thrilled to hear the story of ‘Say please, little bear’ and ‘Don’t kick up a fuss, Gus!’ brought to life by Jackie as she took on the roles of the storybook characters.
“I really don’t know who enjoyed the stories more,” said Jackie. “I really lose myself in playing the different parts and giving each one a different voice. Adam’s always full of smiles when I read and he thinks it’s a great way to start the day.”
