🌿 What We Offer at Acorn 🌿

At our Driffield site, we have a central base with easy access to the town and public transport, making it a great starting point for the day and for getting out into the local community.

Inside, we offer a warm and welcoming space designed to meet a range of needs. This includes a main room with a large boardroom-style table where everyone can come together for activities, chats and shared meals, as well as a pool table which is always popular. We also have a purpose-built food preparation and craft area where people can take part in cooking, baking and creative projects.

Alongside this, we have quieter spaces available, including a relaxation room and a sensory room, offering calm environments for those who need time to unwind, regulate or take a break from the busier parts of the day.

Just 10 minutes away, we also have access to our outdoor base where many of our outdoor activities take place. This gives people the opportunity to enjoy gardening, nature-based projects and time in a green environment, while still being close to our main Driffield setting.

As well as our day-to-day activities, we regularly plan themed activity days and trips out into the community. These include outings such as bowling, visits to Gravity, and trips further afield to places like Eden Camp, The Deep and Flamingo Land. We also enjoy cafés, local events and seasonal celebrations, with gentle physical activities encouraged to support health and wellbeing.

Together, these experiences provide a balanced mix of indoor comfort, community access, social opportunities and outdoor experiences — supporting confidence, independence and overall wellbeing in a relaxed, person-centred way.

We currently have limited availability for new placements. If you’d like to find out more about what we offer, we’d be happy to have an informal chat. 🌱

Today at Acorn, we planted our January growing box, which included strawberries, chives, and potatoes.

Each group enjoyed watching the demonstration video beforehand and then independently gathered their equipment with minimal guidance. This approach supported independence, confidence, and practical life skills, with everyone taking pride in being hands-on and involved throughout the activity.

A lovely, calm session focused on learning, teamwork, and growing things together 🍓 🥔

Soup and Bread Making at Acorn 🥣🍞

Today we enjoyed a hands-on soup and bread making session, preparing homemade soup from scratch alongside freshly baked bread. Everyone took part in mixing, kneading, tasting, and sharing the finished meal, which everyone enjoyed for lunch 😋

These activities support independence, confidence, teamwork, and sensory enjoyment 🤝🌱

🌱 Growing Project at Acorn 🌱

Starting next week, we’re beginning a new planting project at Acorn - the first step in a longer-term growing journey 🌿

Participants will be involved in planting strawberries 🍓, potatoes 🥔 and chives 🌱, taking responsibility for caring for the plants from start to finish. This includes watering, observing growth, harvesting, and preparing simple foods when crops are ready.

Outcomes and impact include:
• Improved emotional wellbeing through calm, purposeful activity
• Increased independence and responsibility
• Greater confidence around food and willingness to try new tastes
• Development of routine, patience and practical life skills
• Positive sensory engagement through hands-on growing

We look forward to sharing progress as the project develops 🍓 🥔

🥛🐄 A Lovely Visit to the Milk Shed 🐄🥛

Yesterday, a group from Acorn enjoyed a visit to the Milk Shed. While we have visited before, for some of the group this was their first time, and they really enjoyed getting out and exploring it together.

Everyone chose a milkshake of their choice,

Well 2025 has been an exceptional year for everyone here at Acorn. From receiving the keys to our new premises and creating a space we proudly call home, to growing our Day Centre and welcoming new members to our team – it has truly been a year of progress, passion and purpose.

We are incredibly proud to have finished the year by winning an award at the Yorkshire & Humber Family Business Awards. This recognition reflects the dedication, care and commitment shown every single day by our amazing team.

Our staff embody creativity, consistency, familiarity and continuity - working together with genuine care, shared experience and strong friendships. This is the heart of Acorn and the reason we are what we are today.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our entire team, our parents and carers, and everyone who continues to support us. Your trust and encouragement mean everything to us.

As we celebrate this achievement, we look ahead with excitement to 2026 and all that is still to come.

✨ Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year to you all ✨🥂

Just a little snippet of some photos from our amazing Christmas meal today 🎄
Everyone has had a fantastic day!

The last few weeks have been action-packed creating lots of Christmas goodies, which I can’t share just yet as some have been made as special little gifts 🎁✨.

For those who didn’t make the Christmas meal for whatever reason, you were very much missed ✨
