SUPPORTED LIVING
ACTIVITIES

Each service user will be given the choice to take part in various organised, weekly events. Every effort will be made to encourage Service user to take part and to come up with their own ideas for group activities. On a Friday we have a takeout then visit( every second week) a Disco run by SOLO where Service users can make new friend, we visit the local Pub for the experience, go bowling, go to the Cinema or stay at home and watch a movie.
