With further easing of restrictions, we are now offering more sessions and a new timetable. Social distancing is no longer required and we are no longer taking temperature checks at the door. Staff continue to test twice-weekly as per recommended government guidelines and will continue to wear masks. We are working closely with members to determine who is still considered at risk and working sessions around their needs. Guidelines for staff who are close contacts have changed, but we continue to work with our families and carers to ensure everyone feels as safe as possible in our care.
“I’ve learnt to paint and to mix colours, we get to do lots of different things. The staff are really helpful.”
“The Dance class make dances for the Active Arts show and we also made a dance for a project on the Pier – it was part of a film too.”
“It makes me very happy to come here. My work goes on show at exhibitions so people can see it, which also makes me happy. We get to make and try lots of different things.”
“I’ve learnt to act, I like taking part in the show and the classes are good fun.”
“I’ve learnt to act and dance, I like planning the shows and helping to decide what sketches we do.”
