Work experience at Over Day Centre

A big Over Day Centre welcome to work experience student, Grace, who is studying for her L3 National Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care. Grace began her placement with us just after Christmas and will be assisting our care staff until the end of this academic year. She is proving incredibly popular with our clients and a real help to the staff.

It's a pleasure for Over Day Centre to assist young people who are committed to a career in Social Care. It's also incredibly beneficial for our clients to have the opportunity to spend time with young adults and children of all age groups. Our charity (now in it's 34th year) has maintained a policy of welcoming students and pupils from local colleges and schools to visit our Centre.

Grace: we hope you thoroughly enjoy your time with us!

It's lovely here. I like all the activities and I have friends I sit with. I like the word games best (like Word in a Word) but I'm happy with any quizzes and also the singers that come in to entertain us. I've even done some drumming. We also have animals to visit, like dogs (trained as therapy pets) which I enjoy. The staff look after me and I really like the food. The lunches are really good.
