A couple of weeks ago we went on holiday to South Wales, we enjoyed exploring Barry Island retracing Gavin & Staceys footsteps, spending time in our luxury house complete with a hot tub and having fun on the beach!

Thanks to our wonderful members and volunteers for making it a great trip 🙂🧳⛱ #WeCan #Holiday
