The Reality

There are eight residents living in Peacehaven House. Most of the original residents are still living there, although some have moved on to more independent living. Some residents attend a sheltered workshop in Sunbeam House Services whilst others serve the community cheerfully through their employment in local businesses. They all have the dignity of going to work!

Some time ago one resident was nominated Greystones 'Person of the Year' as a result of his campaigning for People with Disabilities. Others play table tennis, enjoy walking, drama, art and bowling. Several are involved in the Special Olympics.

In 2002 The Trustees bought Blake House. It has been renovated and opened for residents. There are six residents living in Blake House. This is a bright sunny home and has been much admired.

The atmosphere in both houses is very much a family one. There is lots of laughter and fun as well as the occasional squabble about what programme to watch on television, or who is wearing whose socks!

The residents in both houses are encouraged to be independent, to participate in the running of their home, to develop their own individual interests and join in community activities. They also take part in various sports and clubs.
