As summer winds down and we head into Autumn, we’re looking back on some of the many highs we’ve had in the last few months. Ensuring our clients live full, and fulfilling, lives is of the utmost importance in all that we do so to see, through their achievements, the progress of each client as well as the commitment of each carer is what it’s all about. We’ve put together a few of our favourite memories from this summer because Life Is For Living!

It could also make people more interested in the internet and more dependent on technology. This could lead to other skills being worsened.

Adam loves surfing and returned this year to Cornwall with friends and his support team. Looks like they all had great fun!

Inspiring film showing the benefits of group travel for families. Annually CCMS run a bespoke ski trip for children and their families during February half term, facilitating a strong shared experience and supporting all involved. This film combines footage and interviews from the last two years, it's breath-taking! We were proud to show it at the 2017 CBIT conference and hope it inspires you! These children and their families are amazing!

This video is of Adam and his support team surfing in Cornwall. Adam loves surfing! And... Adam composed his own backing music to accompany the video with his music therapist. Adam played the harmonica, some keyboard and of course his voice. He chose all the sounds and beats himself. Great job Adam!
