The manager of a centre for adults with learning difficulties says she's sickened that burglars could steal some of their vital equipment.

aArtvark is based in Ashford in Kent - where it was broken into at the weekend. Burglars stole four tablet computers hidden there.

Without them, learning and development will be severely affected.
