Day activities

The majority of our Communities offer day support services, providing opportunities for individuals to discover and develop creative talent, practical skills and enjoy therapeutic activities. Our day support services model varies from Community to Community, but includes initiatives such as community cafes, therapeutic gardening and allotment projects, art and design workshops, music and dance therapy, 1:1 and group yoga, and carpentry and joinery.
