A support service for adults in Aberfan operated by national provider Shaw Healthcare celebrated its fifth birthday on January 29.

Staff attended an anniversary party (pictured below) to thank them for their hard work and commitment and five staff members marked five years’ service.

The Aberfan service supports adults with mental health, learning and other complex issues to increase their confidence and decrease their vulnerability. The  staff team help increase tenants’ social recreation opportunities, personal education and integration in the local community.
