Heartfelt Thanks! Midway clients were proud to present Peel Bowling Club with a banner to say ‘thank you’ to all the staff who volunteer there throughout the year. Each client created a panel of their own design which were then put together to create the banner. A beautifully creative thank you! And we would like to recognise staff member Sue Wynn-Taylor for organising this amazing effort.
