A number of our service users got together to make their own contribution to International Day of Peace.
Residents at our St Catherine’s Nursing Home supported the day with some craft activities, putting their own creative stamp on some of the well-known symbols of peace to make a colourful peace tree at the entrance to their home.
While they worked, they were inspired by a collection of quotations by eminent people throughout the ages, including Pope Francis, Mahatma Gandhi, John Lennon and Martin Luther King.
Meanwhile at Parkhead, our Ashington-based resource centre for adults with learning disabilities, friendship and diversity were celebrated in creative style.
The circle of hands made from the painted hand prints of each person attending that day now make a colourful and poignant addition to the artwork on display at Parkhead.
