JIGSAW Thornbury
Crownhill Fort - Weekend
“Our team bring a new meaning to the term 'going above and beyond'. Most of the team are parents of children with additional needs themselves, so are dealing with their own challenges as well as having a life changing impact for the 480 families who are members of JIGSAW Thornbury. We are celebrating our 10th birthday this year, so this was a celebration and chance for some much needed relaxation.”
“I thought I would miss TV and wifi but not having these was actually very good for my overall mental health and feeling that I was taking a break from the world. I went with some friends from work, we all brought some games which was a lovely teambuilding/bonding exercise.”
Our 10 top moments for our 10th birthday trip…
- Living the Plymouth dream – Ice cream, fish and chips, shopping in the Barbican, being blown away at the Hoe, and most importantly gin tasting.
- Hopping between rock pools and paddling in the sea
- Local pub roast dinner
- Revisiting childhood memories
- Exploring the fort and wonderful views
- Escaping distractions and playing many board games
- No TV and Wi-Fi
- Homemade scones and baking in the amazing kitchen, enjoyed with jam and local clotted cream
- The many locks and keys which provided our own private escape room
