DAWN a local OT came along and joined in at the meeting centre on two of the Wednesdays last month, she explained how she can visit anyone’s home by request, to give advice from her wealth of experience.
So if you are finding it increasingly difficult on times to carry out any tasks you enjoy or want to be able to do with less frustration- ie cooking, gardening, reading – ASK O.T. DAWN to come to your house – via Your meeting centre.
Don’t forget that we can eat together any day; £3 per head can be pooled towards a shared meal.(Plus teas and coffees)
Recent ideas enjoyed buffets, locally reared pork sausage and chips, pizza with healthy salads!
Every day will also bring an opportunity to engage in discussions AND a time for a movement session to aid with coordination and balance.
