Care when it counts... Supporting recovery from mental ill health
|
Leisure ClubLeisure Club aids our clients overcome the devastating effects of isolation and social exclusion which often accompany mental ill health. Leisure activities aim to improve a client's self esteem which gives them the confidence in real life situations such as going and exploring voluntary work or paid employment. For others, Leisure Club is an opportunity to develop a network of friends, share experiences and in turn avoid isolation, and this plays a crucial role in promoting their wellbeing. Leisure activities this year have included: painting, food tasting, karaoke, quizzes, bowling, parties for Christmas and Halloween, a Chinese tea tasting workshop, trips to the cinema, museums, art galleries and stately homes. Leisure Club is attended by a growing number of clients. Normal sessions usually attract between 5 and 15 clients, other activities such as the annual Our Celebration BBQ, the Christmas party and a coach trip to Beningbrough Hall have attracted up to 28 clients.
A recent addition to leisure activities are a number ceramics workshops ran by potter Ben Arnup which run fortnightly alongside the other leisure activities. This has been very successful as not only are the sessions well attended, but the quality of the work produced has been fantastic.
