Thursday 4 May 2023, saw us celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III, cakes all made by Co-ordin8 students and all 50 visitors served by Co-ordin8 Trustees and volunteers while we listened to the Last Night at the Proms. Thank you to all for all your hard work. We had a great time.
‘My dear Mum was called Primrose and she kept cacti at her home in Torquay. I used to look after them for her. We both loved them! I used to give them a water when they needed it (which was not very often.)

What is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) helps you live your best life at home, at work – and everywhere else. It’s about being able to do the things you want and have to do. That could mean helping you overcome challenges learning at school, going to work, playing sport or simply doing the dishes. Everything is focused on your wellbeing and your ability to participate in activities.
