The talk was one of a range of activities the Friends of Bridgewater House Committee volunteers organised for children and teens living at Bridgewater House during the Easter holiday period.

A trip to the swimming pool, an arts and crafts class, Easter scavenger hunt and a disco that included a visit from the Easter bunny and Easter egg gifts were among the other fun events hosted for the Centre’s young residents.
