Our activities focus on five key areas aimed at building confidence, retaining and learning new skills, increasing physical and mental activity, and encouraging community integration and independence. The activities are broken down into the following categories: Health & Wellbeing, The 5 Senses, Arts & Creative Expression, Exercise & Movement, and Outdoor & Community Projects.

Within our five offerings we have a varied menu of “pick and mix” sessions. All of our customers are supported and motivated to choose and participate with activities and sessions that suit their personal needs and aspirations.
