Star of CDI
“Since moving to the Leys, The Clockhouse has been a lifeline for me. I have made so many friends and attended so many activities including Boccia, singing, wheelchair dancing, art and crafts, printing and gardening and as I tell everyone, The Clockhouse is genuinely my second home”
Jean (Clockhouse Member, 2023)
