The group have already said they’d like to do Tai Chi again, so watch this space

Yesterday we had a fantastic time attending the 50+ Forum event! 💬

It was great to see such a wide range of organisations coming together to showcase the amazing work happening in the community.

Cwmpas OT hosted a table where people could get creative making dreamcatchers using recycled materials 🌿♻️ We had some lovely conversations, shared lots of information about our groups and companionship calls, and met lovely people along the way.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat or take part, we enjoyed meeting you! 💛

🎉✨ Fun & Movement at Age Connects Today! ✨🎉

We kicked things off with a lively game of “Guess What’s in the Box” lots of great guesses, laughter, and even a few jokes thrown in along the way! 📦😄 Tea and coffee in hand, everyone got involved and the room was full of chatter.

Next up, we got moving with a fantastic seated dance session led by the wonderful Sophie at Rubicon Dance 💃🕺

There was stretching, dancing, and plenty of smiles as participants chose their own music alongside some great tunes from Sophie. Whether joining in with the dancing or enjoying their own activities, everyone found their own way to be part of the session.

The energy, laughter, and sense of community today was just lovely to see 💛

We love sessions like this! fun, active, and full of connection!

🐰✨ Easter crafts at Youldon House! ✨🐰

This week at our Youldon House group we got creative making Easter cards. Some people followed a design to layer shapes and build a lovely little rabbit, while others let their creativity take over and created their own unique designs 🎨

Activities like this aren’t just about crafts – they also help people practise fine motor skills, coordination, planning, creativity and social connection, all key parts of Occupational Therapy that support people to stay active and engaged in meaningful activities.

It was lovely to see everyone chatting, sharing ideas and encouraging each other along the way.

The group also told us they’d like to try more physical activity sessions in the future, with crafts continuing once a month – which we’re really excited about! 💪

If you would like to join one of our friendly community groups, we’d love to hear from you. Our sessions are welcoming, relaxed and designed to help people stay active, social and doing the things they enjoy.
