Sense Deafblind charity booked out Castree House for 3 consecutive weeks through the holidays team who provide respite breaks for parents. This was followed up by two more weeks of Sense with groups from Birmingham.
They have created some brilliant blog posts including one on a parent’s perspective of their residential stays in Castree House this summer!
