| We have enjoyed a period of stability at Netherlee Cottage. One of the current residents has been there since the opening in October 2005, two joined in March 2006 and the other three arrived in March 2009. These three have employment in a factory and are working towards moving on out of Netherlee Cottage and towards independent living with social work support. One of these three has been re-admitted to hospital in recent days after an episode. We hope that she will be able to return to Netherlee Cottage. |

| The current staff of two have been in place since 2005 and 2007 respectively. The management team meets regularly with staff and residents and with staff from Mulleriyawa Hospital to discuss the implementation of care plans. |
| |
| The house has been altered by the erection of a dividing partition in the living area to create another room. This will be used to accommodate a part time member of staff who will work 16 days per month. We are recruiting for that position now. |
| |
| We have had a number of visitors to Netherlee Cottage – the youth group came for a day and much fun was had. |
| |
| The ‘Team of Ten’ from Fenwick Parish Church of Scotland came on 30 July and had lunch and then colour wash painted the partition wall and the room. |
