Today we are looking back on an inclusive evening enjoyed earlier this month. We proudly hosted a special community performance by our "Tea & Tales" group followed by festive social, with some of our own residents and others from South Bristol.

Thank you to the To***co Factory Theatres and all the other community teams this Autumn who helped bring this community project together, here at Monica Wills House.
