What's New
|
PPL Hair Salon: A new Hair Salon was set-up in the Shed outside complete with a Hairdressing chair, table, kettle, magazines and a space for a chat. This new facility was opened for the residents and they have enjoyed going out for "their hair appointments". The idea was to keep things as normal for our residents as possible. |
