At Moorpark Place, the impact of specialist care can be life-changing. Recently, one of the people we support, Sean, completed his Three Peaks Challenge climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Mount Snowdon. With the right support, determination, and encouragement, Sean achieved something truly extraordinary. Stories like his show the power of therapy and teamwork, and as our Lead OT, you'll be a key part of making these achievements possible.
