Wishing Well! -Jacobite Cruise!

Kingsmills residents, Bill Mackenzie and Thomas Wallace both wished to sail a boat again, as Tom

used to be a sailor and owned a boat and Bill used to go sailing regularly with his dad.

Right from the beginning we try to get an understanding of our residents, finding out about their life

story and getting to know the things they would really like to do via our Wishing Well Programme

so that we can help to make their wishes a reality. Each resident will have a monthly engagement

review to understand how things are going and to agree any changes and improvements that are

required.
