We know that not everyone celebrates Halloween in the same way and that it is important to consider personal preferences, sensory experiences, and individual needs and abilities. Thatโs why a variety of activities were on offer this week across our services for people to choose how they would like to join in the fun.
Costumes, trick-or-treating, spooktacular baking, ghostly crafts, and a movie-themed party to name a few! These photos really show off the fantastic efforts of everyone taking part. ๐๐

We have such a talented team at The Donaldson Trust, including a published author! Stuart, from our Facilities team, has not only written but illustrated his very own book, The Skye Blue Hairy Coo. ๐ฎ๐
Last Monday, the Gate trainees brought the story to life in the sweetest way possible (no pun intended!) by turning the Skye Blue Hairy Coo into delicious cupcakes! ๐ง The cupcakes were a special treat for Stuart who works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our campus running smoothly.
A huge well done to everyone involved! ๐
