CELEBRATING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF OUR RIVER PARK TEAM

IT has been a busy few months of accomplishments for the people we support over at Port Sunlight River Park.

Hot on the heels of delivering a sensational Halloween Trail for the public to enjoy, the team based in the Heritage Centre and Cafe building have been judging a national autism award, working towards a ‘Relationships’ ASDAN, and getting interviewed by BBC Radio Merseyside!

The team were asked to be judges of this year’s Autism Leaders List Awards, having been winners themselves last year. They had to look at 10 shortlisted nominees and give comments and scores to see which of the entries they thought was the most deserving of this year’s prize.

The group found it an involving and worthwhile project and were even invited to join in the celebrations at the online awards ceremony to see this year’s winners crowned.

And then, in December, Steven, Jake, Liam and Mr C – plus Activity Manager Mike Stormes – all took part in an interview with the BBC’s Phil Cooper (pictured right).

It was all part of a 1-hour special on autism for Radio Merseyside with the lads talking about their personal autism experiences.

Well done to the whole group for their excellent year and our support staff for guiding and encouraging them throughout.
