The Activities Centre

If following assessment, attendance at the Trust's Activities Centre is recommended, clients will have the opportunity of learning a variety of software packages, in their own time, and at their own pace, as well as experiencing various computer based recreational activities.

Clients who through illness, accident or congenital impairment:

The atmosphere in the Activities Centre is positive, the staff and volunteers motivate and encourage client rehabilitation and build their confidence.

Clients who have developed their office skills are able, if they wish, to assist the Trust, members of the public and other voluntary organisations via the Office Bureau Project. This project not only increases their self esteem but also helps raise valuable funds for the Trust.

The Assessment and Development Department is also on hand to help out as required.
