Paultons Park Trip - July 2009

altResidents from Cumberland Gate in Portsmouth had the opportunity to take part in a trip to the theme park on Saturday July 25th.

The sun was shining brightly as residents gathered to board the coach that arrived at Cumberland Gate for the 45 minute journey. An air of excitement lingered. What would it be like? Who else was going? Would people be friendly? Would the children enjoy it?  Would the grown ups cope with the big choice of rides and things to do?

Katie, a resident at Cumberland Gate, came on the trip with her partner and two children.  "It was a great day out!" says Katie "There were lots of different rides for children of all ages, and  even us adults too! The time seemed to fly by. We all had a tiring but great day, the boys fell into a deep sleep with big smiles on their faces. The trip was fantastic, and the price was too.  I hope there will be many more trips in the near future." 

The trip was organised by staff from the three housing associations at Cumberland Gate. (PHA, Downland and Radian).  Staff received very positive feedback from residents, both  before and after the trip, which helped to make it such a success.
