Activity Opportunities

All of our service users receive a package of Activity Opportunities designed with their individual likes and dislikes, needs and abilities in mind. A core value of our Activities provision is our belief in supporting our service users to keep appropriate jobs, continue education/training and take part in valued, fulfilling activities.

The Activity Opportunity programmes offer a wide range of activities with the aim of building on existing skills and supporting each individual in their continued personal development.

Service users make use of a wide range of community resources which include colleges, sports and leisure facilities, pubs, clubs and restaurants, supported workshops and vocational opportunities.
