Two brothers in their 60’s have been supported to fulfil a long-held ambition to holiday together.

The brothers live at Greenfield Close in Newark which is a residential unit supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health issues and physical disabilities requiring complex care.

It has long been committed to enhancing the lives of its residents, fostering independence, and promoting meaningful experiences.

The opportunity to take a holiday in Skegness was an endeavour that aligns perfectly with the organisation's core values.

The trip aimed to cater to their individual needs and interests, creating a truly personalised experience.

The brothers immersed themselves in various activities, delighting in the simple pleasures of life.

Among the highlights of their holiday, Ian and Malcolm relished their visit to the Sea Life Centre, where they encountered fascinating marine creatures up close.

The duo also explored local shops, savouring the essence of the seaside town.

Michelle Green, manager of Greenfields Close, part of Salutem Care and Education, said: "At Greenfields Close, our primary focus has always been on empowering the individuals we support and fulfilling their dreams.
