At SMC Children Services we pride ourselves on caring for each and every employee. These phenomenal people provide 1st class care to our children every single day, and on Wednesday we put on a Wellness Day in The Johnstown Estate & Spa, so we can give a little back to this fantastic group of people. 🙏

The day began with everyone catching up and having fun over tea, coffee and sweet treats! This was followed by a fantastic sound bath, which was extremely relaxing! 😌

After this we took to the gardens of the Estate for Garden games, before a superb BBQ. 👌

Another excellent day with the best people. 🙏
