Held at The Woodlands, which is run by Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH), the party was attended by around 50 people.

Support Worker, Karen Bradder, said: “All our guests had great fun, singing and dancing.

“Patients and staff at The Woodlands baked the cakes and buns themselves.”

They made so many that there are a lot left over, and these will be shared out so that the patients who couldn’t come to the party will still get a treat.”
