It Happened on 1st August.


1941 - "Parade" magazine called it “...the U. S. Army’s most intriguing new gadget.” The gadget was “a tiny truck which can do practically everything.” General Dwight D. Eisenhower said that America couldn’t have won World War II without it. The tiny truck was the Jeep


1944 - 13-year-old Anne Frank made the last entry in her diary; a diary she had kept for two years while hiding with her family to escape Nazi deportation to a concentration camp. Three days later the Grune Polizei raided the secret annex in Amsterdam, Holland, where the Jewish family was in hiding. Anne died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at age 15.

THE BASE


QUEEN STREET GREAT


HARWOOD


A NEW CONCEPT IN DAYTIME SUPPORT AND RESPITE FOR ADULTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES.


After 25 years of providing residential and domiciliary care we have often come across the struggle for adults with learning disabilities to access meaningful daytime activities which are tailored to suit specific needs of each individual considering level of skills and ability. There is also a struggle for families to access daytime respite to suit all their needs; should it be for working patterns, appointments or other family commitments. Somewhere that is available for more (or less hours) than the standard 9am-4pm usually offered by public or other private providers. The Base will be offering individually planned timetables, and will be available from 7am-7pm, 7 days per week.


The building is newly developed and wheel chair friendly, is an airy and open plan space and has been fitted with a disabled toilet and fully equipped shower/changing room. We are within walking distance of Great Harwood town centre, local amenities, shops and public transport routes which we plan to take full advantage of. We want people to get enjoyment and social stimulation from the range of offsite and onsite activities and amenities available. We see traditional obstacles as a challenge to be met and will strive to provide everyone with something very new, forward thinking and rewarding.


People can also attend the different onsite activities or use the facilities at the base and be supported by their own Personal Assistant.


Please contact Alan Wilkinson on 01254 885 016 for more information or if you would like to organise an appointment or referral.


A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored Lynn & Karina on their great escape adventure for Macmillan Cancer Care. The Girls were taken by coach ( in the luggage compartment because they were talking too much.) from Strangeways Prison in Manchester, to an unknown destination. This turned out to be Mold in North Wales, from where they had to find their way back to the prison. The Girls raised around £1000. We are not suggesting any drink was involved but check the sashes !
