In order to comply with Government and social distancing restrictions and to keep our clients safe, we are having to think differently about how we offer weekly activities at the current time.

We offer ‘Stay Connected Sessions’ where clients can join us on Zoom and learn how to get online and use a smartphone, tablet, iPad or laptop. We also offer 1-2-1 community walks where one of our volunteers can accompany our clients for a short walk in the community.

We deliver regular wellbeing activity packs for all ages which include a variety of puzzles, craft activities, recipe cards and brain teaser quizzes.

We also have an entertainment library featuring books, DVDs and jigsaws for our clients to enjoy. There are plenty in stock to choose from that can be delivered directly to your door.
