We visit local shops and amenities using public transport to encourage learning about;

• Communicating with others in the community

• Using a bus pass

• Handle money

• Acceptable public behaviour

• Bus Routes and numbers

​

Regular visits to local shops to buy ingredients for baking and cooking help promote several life skills including;

​

• Writing a shopping list

• Money handling

• Budgeting

• Packing bags

• Socialising

• Improving independence

 

There will also be the opportunity to bake and cook with ingredients that they will have grown at the allotment themselves from start to finish, which brings great satisfaction.

​

​

Sports: We are able to offer a range of multi sports, delivered by a qualified level 3 sports coach.

​

Participating in sports has a wide range of benefits. With our carefully designed specific session plans not only will young people learn about sports, they will also gain independence, build confidence and have fun.

​

All of our sports are designed to assist in physical and social rehabilitation and enhance achievement, which in turn will develop sporting ability, and many other important life skills.

​

We deliver sports sessions for all abilities including wheelchair users, with plans being developed and adapted to each individual, to ensure that each young person gains the maximum benefit and fun from their chosen sport.
