Anyone can be affected at any stage of life.

This morning our CEO @mblakebrough62 visited the @CAVDAS22 team in #Cardiff for his CEO Roadshow 2024.

It was great for Martin to hear from staff about how they are getting on and share information on Kaleidoscope's organisational strategy.

Thanks for all who attended!
