Our activities offer new fun experiences for people to improve their independence skills, increase their health and well being and fitness levels. We support our customers in small group settings to take part in activities that are of interest to them. We encourage people to flourish, become more confident in decision making and increase their independence. All activities are inclusion orientated and are specifically geared towards assisting individuals to achieve the outcomes they want to. All of our customers are working towards a level of independence and have an individual achievement and development programme.

As a team we support our customers to take part in a range of activities ranging from Life Skills, Community and Voluntary activities, Health and Well Being and Fitness sessions. All activities are developed to offer new and interesting experiences whilst supporting people to achieve their own life goals. We work alongside families, carers and other organisations.

Before joining us, Ragi was not a confident person and was reluctant to speak out and to make decisions. As a result of being a part of the group he is now able to choose to take part in activities that are of an interest to him. He feels more in control of his life. He has participated in his own development plan and enjoys new experiences, planning and going on short breaks with the group something he had never done before. Ragi is a very active member of our customer meetings now he has found his voice.
