Supporter Story: Help Transform Lives like M's
M has lived at Cherrywood for 15 years. She enjoys activities such as going to concerts, days out on the minibus, music classes, aromatherapy, baking, and helping staff with dinner. M loves her music, especially dance tunes, and appreciates her family visits. She values her personal care routines, including baths with bath bombs, which are part of her pamper sessions.
