It makes our day to get such lovely feedback from the family of one of our customers at Lowestoft Community Hub:

I just wanted to let you know how much “X” and I appreciate you all.

Each time we visit all the staff make us so welcome, taking time to greet us and talk to “X”. There is such a friendly happy atmosphere, I can’t help noticing the kindness and care given to all your clients by everybody.

“X” attended cookery and art classes and both have been excellent. The staff and volunteers work so hard to make each session a positive experience for all who attend. They obviously spend a lot of time preparing the sessions to make them so enjoyable.

“X” has had such bad experiences of poor care that I can’t tell you how much it means for her to experience good care at the hub.

We offer singing, dancing and drama sessions with FABBA Theatre Company on Mondays and Thursdays at Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth. Have a look at what they have been up to on their Facebook page @fabbatheatre.

Fabba recently performed Macbeth at the Seagull Theatre, Lowestoft – have a look at the show pictures HERE.
