The experience was truly enjoyed by all and everyone made yummy Portuguese tarts. It was lovely to find out more about the traditions in Portugal too.

There was a variety of sweet and savoury treats, cakes and refreshing drinks, prepared by our talented chef. We all had a fantastic time.
Boat Trip
What a gorgeous day we had relaxing on the water with the Willow trust on their accessible boat. Run by volunteers, we all had an amazing time on the boat. The weather was just perfect and everyone enjoyed a picnic, the fresh air and relaxing watching the wildlife and beauty of the waterside. Residents commented that it was like having a holiday! Everyone had a go at being captain by driving the boat, Terence said: “It is the best trip we have had, a great experience, it is so appreciated, I would like to come again!” Badgeworth Court would like to say thank you to the volunteers were so kind and caring during the whole trip. You are fantastic and we are looking forward to next year already!
