Craig said: “It was great to be able to bring long-time friends together and enjoy an activity that provides health benefits and gets people socialising over a shared interest." #golf #scarborough #coproduction #friends

Our Support Worker from Scarborough, Craig, took Will and Sid who are great friends, to a local driving range where they spent the day together, enjoying some great weather and honing their skills
