Meet Peter!
He’s new to Cherwell, but he’s been part of the PossAbilities family for over 25 years — and it’s safe to say he’s already made himself right at home!

Today, the social lounge was alive with the sound of Adam Ant as our very own Adam took to the mic, belting out his favourite hits and getting everyone dancing!

We love seeing the energy and friendships that fill Cherwell every day.
Stand and deliver? We certainly will!
