One was at Brian Jackson House in Huddersfield and the other was at Crow Nest Park in Dewsbury. Both events were well attended by carers and their loved ones and were a great day out for all. Both events provided food and entertainment. The activities included head massages donated by the White Rose Beauty College, Bollywood dancing from Salma Zaman and MMO Movement and Dance with Kirklees Council, to name a few.
