⛳ Weekly Golf Fun at Kingswood.

On Tuesday our customers from Basildon Day Opportunities, along with our Activities Co-ordinators, enjoyed another fantastic golf session at Kingswood Golf Course.

The session mixed fine motor skills, co ordination and plenty of friendly competition. They kicked things off with some target practice before moving on to the basket challenge. This week’s competition was a nail biter with Bethany, Emily, Shaun and Connor taking the win by just one point.

Everyone had a great time and is already looking forward to next week’s round⛳

A huge thank you to all involved for making us feel so welcome! 😊

Customers at Basildon Day Opportunities, Lee-anne, David and Daniel cooked up delicious jacket potatoes with a choice of cheese and beans or tuna mayo.

It was on Lee-anne’s goals to learn how to make jacket potatoes so she can show off her cooking skills at home.

Daniel also created his own jacket potato and was very pleased on how tasty it was.

They all took in turns to chop up some salad to add to the meal and promote healthy eating.

Our South Cambridgeshire Day Opportunities customers enjoyed a co-produced photography session. 📸

It was a lovely opportunity to explore creativity, build skills, and develop focus through a fun and engaging activity. Using natural light, they captured the details of their packed lunches, experimenting with focus to see how small adjustments can make a big difference.

They also explored the sensory room, taking photos both up close and from a distance to observe how lighting can completely change an image ✨

With a change to the timetable, photography was requested by the customers and this session was fully designed by the customers themselves. It was a great session!
