Bracknell

Downside Resource Centre, Bracknell was decked out with tinsel, turkey and Christmas cheer when more than 70 clients took part in the annual festive party last week.

The Bracknell Wildridings based day centre was bursting with festivities on Thursday afternoon when Christmas came early full of delicious festive goodies, games and music.

Clients enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner as part of a three-course meal and were served by members of staff who were all in fancy dress.

Jane Brown, Manager of Downside Resource Centre, said: "It was a fantastic afternoon - everyone really got into the Christmas spirit.

"We hold a Christmas party every year and it seems to be getting more and more popular. I think many of the clients had a little giggle at all the staff dressed up in different outfits."

Cllr Dale Birch, Executive Member for Bracknell Adult Services, Health Commissioning and Housing, said: "Our day centres provide some great entertainment for residents and the Christmas parties are always a big success.

"Our staff pull out all the stops to make sure clients have an enjoyable time and it was nice to see the Downside staff even went the extra mile by dressing up in all manner of costumes."
