Today we wish Mason a fond farewell. Mason has been on work experience with AOB since January and has become a valued part of the team. It’s been a pleasure working with you and we wish you the best of luck for your bright future ahead ….. we’re going to miss you!

Happy St. George’s day! from all at AOB – we celebrated with some tasty treats courtesy of our residents & caterers Sizzlers

We had the pleasure of showing two groups of students from Ashton Sixth Form College around the Centre today as part of their Regeneration Curriculum. It’s great to see so many young people interested in the story of AOB! 

AOB held a cake sale arranged by Natalie, a Bric by Bric colleague of Saffer Cooper…….
All donations were for Down Syndrome Awareness Day. This is officially celebrated on 21st March each year, the date is significant as people with Down Syndrome have 3 copies of chromosome 21- hence 21/3. The day is marked with people wearing odd socks to celebrate individuals who have Down Syndrome and inclusivity (socks were chosen as chromosomes are shaped similarly to socks)
More information about Down Syndrome can be found here: https://www.downs-syndrome.org.uk/

AOB was delighted to welcome Andy Burnham to the Centre. Andy was meeting with colleagues and Centre Manager Fi managed to snap a quick picture on the way out 😊

AOB was delighted to be chosen as the venue for Modus Arts Tape Letters project, which shines light on the practice of recording and sending messages on cassette tape as an unorthodox method of communication by Pakistanis who migrated and settled in the UK between 1960-1980!
