Cathy loves being out in the community, she loves to be in the mix of everything where she can see and hear what’s going on be involved in the festivities. For Boxing Day last year, Cathy headed out for the evening with her friends.

Before the night out, Cathy and her support team looked at different Boxing Day events taking place in the city online and checked a few venues out in person. This included making sure venues were accessible and had suitable facilities, such as ground-floor toilets and space so that her wheelchair could be accommodated comfortably without her getting knocked into.

Wanting to make the most of the festivities on Boxing Day, Cathy, her friends and support team headed for a delicious meal before walking to a pub in their local area. They chose to stay near their homes as it was familiar, comfortable and suited Cathy’s needs and you didn’t need to buy a ticket to enter!

Creating Lasting Memories

Everyone had a brilliant time and spent the night dancing, having fun and even, getting on the mic for a singsong with the live entertainment act.

Cathy didn’t stop partying, had the widest grin, and was even trying to get up in her chair so that she could have a better boogie with everyone around her.

The staff took lots of photographs so that she can keep reliving the lovely memories made.
