Services like the Russell Clinic, which supports people in their recovery through a wide range of rehabilitation resources in a residential setting. With £500 from charitable funds and support from Sally Aggett, Catering Technical Instructor at New Leaf Café, Louise O’Neill, Senior Nurse Manager and her dedicated team were able to arrange a party to bring everyone together to enjoy good food, presents and games at our clinic.
