With summer here staff and volunteers at Witham Court took patients on a virtual day trip to the beach.

Complete with a Punch and Judy, windbreaks, beach balls and buckets and spades, the ward transformed into a sunny beach.

Everyone wore a knotted hanky and played in the sand, had an ice-cream and joined in beach related songs.

And no trip to the beach is complete without a donkey and Bransby Donkey Sanctuary very kindly brought along 2 friendly donkeys for patients to say hello to and pet.
