Following a visit to Atmospherics, The Bishop of Taunton, The Rt Reverend Peter D Maurice wrote:
"My reading of the Gospels lead me to believe that at the heart of the life and work of Jesus was his desire to meet the needs of the whole person. My visit to Atmospherics in the summer (2007) was a huge privilege.
Here in a transformed scout hut on the edge of Glastonbury, both those living with severe disability and those who care for them were being ministered to in a way that clearly brought a sense of wholeness to them while they were there and made a difference to their lives for good. I am delighted to support their work and I wish wish them every success in their development projects"

My favourite colours of silk are blues and purples.They are calming colours for me."

Visiting Atmospherics for the First Time Whilst at work I experienced something magical- I escorted two service users to Atmospherics !! I had only heard about this service before and to experience it first hand was truly brilliant. I went on a roller coaster of emotions from happiness to sadness shedding a few tears and then feeling a great calm. I have told all my friends Naomi Hodgson (Olympic Healthcare) - Rosedale,Street.
