Our experienced Activities Coordinators enable members to produce a huge range of art, craft and textile work, from painting dramatic sunsets to portraits, drawing cartoon characters to stunning landscapes; modelling papier-mâché monkeys to cardboard sci-fi figures, and embroidering cushion covers to sewing skirts. We facilitate regular cooking sessions, producing biscuits, cakes, savoury dishes etc. encouraging members to follow a recipe, weigh ingredients, wash up etc. There is an enthusiastic weekly poetry and discussion group who share poems they like and devise their own poems on a chosen theme. There are several computers that are available to use for searching the internet, helping with projects and looking up information for themes we are working on etc. We also have adapted and accessible IT equipment which supports our members to learn new ICT skills through our ICT workshops. We have weekly lively music & singing sessions. Members can get involved using basic instruments, requesting their favourite songs etc. Other regular activities include Beauty sessions (manicures, face masks etc.), Relaxation Sessions, Nintendo Wii Games, Film afternoons, Needles and natter group, Dancing, Exercise Sessions, Reading Group ‘Talk and Tales’ etc. During the summer months we use our minibus to get out to parks and local attractions. We are also able to take individuals swimming, to the gym and shopping. The members have weekly visits to the Plot to Plate project, an accessible allotment run by Disability Direct. The members learn how to sow seeds, transplant seedlings, look after the young plants and harvest produce. We also use the produce in our cookery lessons.
