What a lovely Saturday treat! 🍽️✨

Last weekend, Ben, James and Laura headed out to The Stannary Pub for a delicious meal and what a fantastic time they had! 😊

From tasty food to a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it was the perfect opportunity to relax and socialise. Moments like these are what it’s all about, building confidence, independence, and great memories!

We’re already looking forward to the next outing!

Lots of exciting things have been happening on site at Meadow View over the last couple of weeks 🏗️🧱😀

Meadow View has been bursting with energy these past few weeks 👷‍♀️🌱✨

Dozens of young people from across Plymouth have stepped behind the scenes at our £13m Meadow View development — getting hands on with construction, exploring career pathways and discovering just how many opportunities exist across the built environment.

Students from City College Plymouth and the University of Plymouth got stuck in with lively demonstrations, real world learning and even new work experience placements. SEN school groups have explored foundations, materials, diggers and rollers, seeing engineering and problem solving come to life right in front of them.

The Devon Contractors team have also been out in the community delivering CV workshops, supporting placements and helping jobseekers understand the huge range of roles that make projects like this possible.

This is more than a building. Meadow View is becoming a space for inspiration, inclusion and opportunity — shaping futures while creating a vital new facility for adults with complex needs ❤️🏗️🌿
More to come as we continue engaging schools, colleges and partners across the city. 👇
