Activities
Activities on offer cover a wide range, determined by the expressed desires of members.
Most activities take place between 10am and 4pm weekdays,
with a number of activities in the evening and at weekends.
All the details are on the programme pages included in the monthly newsletter sent to each member,
and on the "What's On" page of this site.
Ideas for activities can be brought to the Programme Planning
meeting. The Members/Staff Liaison meeting gives an opportunity for
staff to hear your feedback, to jointly sort out any problems, and for
members to hear about the activities of the Trust Board and staff.
You can expect to meet new people and make new friends; to have
somewhere to go to do things; to have a feeling of purpose and being
part of something; to learn new skills; TO HAVE FUN!
