Here's a taste of the range of activities we offer at Avalon...
Design and technology
We have a dedicated area to develop skills in arts and woodworking. We're developing an online shop for items we make to be sold, as well as working in and providing items for the Makery which will include retail experience. This is our community project. We also make a variety of textile products.
Gardening
We have our own garden with greenhouse and raised beds. We have lots of dedicated gardeners who love getting involved and getting their hands dirty. We're also keen to get started and help out on community projects.
Multi-sensory room
We have a new sensory room which provides support with sleep systems for service users, and is beneficial to promote wellbeing.
Cooking and healthy eating
We have healthy living and cookery sessions using produce grown in our own garden. We grow them in our greenhouse and raised beds.
Walking
We have an established walking group that’s always keen to involve new members. We also join and host the 'walking for health' group at Avalon on Thursday mornings each week.
Digital technology/internet safety/film making
We're set up to offer sessions in these areas. We're currently expanding our knowledge and the service users we support to develop this further.
Photography
e have a photography group that’s independent of our other activities but can equally be part of them and photos tell the best stories.
Health and wellbeing
We cover this area through many activities and have something for everyone whether it be through chat exercise or just a pamper.
Community access and recreation
We're always getting involved in our local and wider community. Socialising is very much a part of what we like to offer. Outings are very much a part of our service.
Games indoor/outdoor
We have a wide variety of games, both educational and just for fun.
