Children's Centre celebrates its 20th anniversary!

To celebrate the Children's Centre 20th anniversary, a party was held in the Assessment Nursery for children attending the nursery, their families and Centre staff. Tim Horton, Acting Centre Manager, reflected on how far the Centre has come in the 20 years it has been open, from a grain of an idea to the most important focus of services for disabled children in the Caerphilly Borough. The Centre now offers high quality services to over 800 disabled children, young people and their families in the Borough. Tim spoke about the tremendous amount of work that has been done in the past 20 years, by families, staff and volunteers and commented that the success of the Centre had been due to this extreme effort.
