FitzRoy - Transforming Lives
@fitzroyuk.bsky.social
National charity started up by an angry mother more than 60 years ago. Today we support autistic people, people with a learning disability and/or mental health issue to live the life they choose. Always trying to be more gloriously ordinary.
Our Rural Skills day service in Hampshire had our mouths watering yet again!

On the menu this time: homemade fresh apple juice and a coffee & walnut cake.
