Take a look at our TACPAC workshops over the past few weeks.❤️

These sessions provide a calming hour where service users can relax and enjoy therapeutic sensory experiences. Each TACPAC session is combined with a short story and a tray containing items from all five scenes of the story, helping to bring it to life and create a fully engaging sensory experience📚

How lovely has it been to see the sun shining again? ☀️ We are certainly enjoying the brighter days and looking forward to spring being just around the corner. 🌷

In our Life Skills workshop over the past few weeks, the focus has been on holidays.

Service users have been learning about passports and had the opportunity to create their own replica passports. We also explored the essentials required for travelling, including what to pack and what items they would like to bring with them.

To further support reading development, we worked through a variety of stories centred around holidays and experiences abroad. To conclude the theme they designed their own postcards as though they were on holiday, writing messages to loved ones.

We then took a walk together to post these, providing a meaningful and practical end to the project.🏖️🗺️

We have some exciting news! 📣

As our business continues to grow and the Oak Tree community expands, we’re making some positive changes. As part of this, we’ll be introducing some updates while also looking ahead to a fresh new redesign of our centre.

We’re also delighted to be welcoming another fantastic facilitator to our workshop team, alongside the addition of our new Sports and Leisure activities.

We can’t wait to share this next chapter with you all!

Would you consider attending an open day at Oaktree in the near future?

At Oaktree, we understand how challenging the transition from school to day services can be. Our aim is to ensure that this transition is as smooth and supportive as possible for both individuals and their families. We already offer induction programmes where students attend alongside their school; however, we would also like to extend our support to parents and carers.

Our open day will provide an opportunity to meet with managers, Summer and Sarah, who will offer a guided tour of our facilities. During this visit, we can discuss how we can create a personalised package of care tailored specifically to your family member’s needs. This is also an opportunity to ask any questions you may have and to gain reassurance about the next steps after leaving school.

If you are interested in attending, please contact Summer on 07398 490617 or via email at Manager@oaktreelifeskills.co.uk.

Activities run throughout the day, allowing the service user to create a ‘learning through leisure’ plan.
