Shared Lives Tea Party

26 June 2018
News

On Saturday 23 June, people from Central Beds, Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes Shared Lives came together to celebrate the end of Shared Lives Week. Held in Flitwick Villiage Hall, the Shared Lives Tea Party was a chance to share stories and connect over live performances, tea and cake.

With a musical performance from The Monsters of Rock and entertainment from circus performer Will Pendragon from Pentdragon Circus, it was an unforgettable day for everyone.

Karen Stedman, Frontline Manager for Shared Lives Central Bedfordshire said:

“A fun time was had by all. We would like to thank Shared Lives Plus who provided us with a grant to allow the Tea Party to take place. I overhead someone from the band say he could feel the care in the room.’
