This Bank Holiday Monday, we swapped hard work for a fun-filled day out at Splashdown! 😀

At our recent community event celebrating over 60 years of the Acorn Centre, our young people put a MASSIVE amount of hard work into making the day such a success.

From running their own stalls and serving you all in the café, to helping prepare for the event, creating balloon arches, and so much more, they truly went above and beyond! 🎈👏

It was only right that we celebrated their amazing efforts and gave a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of our young people for the time, energy and enthusiasm they put in.

A well-deserved day of fun!! We’re looking forward to many more days out!🌟🌟

A huge thank you to Joey Damiral & Stuart from Active Devon for joining us, generously funding this fantastic day out and helping us give our young people the celebration they truly deserved! 💙🙌
