Activities Workshop

This workshop is designed for people who deliver or are interested in physical activities with service users, in residential or community services. This may be anything from simple exploration of objects and materials through to dynamic ball and net games. It will be an interactive morning to provide you with learning opportunities for supporting people to be or become more active, at a level and in a way which recognises their specific and individual physical support needs. You are encouraged to bring your ideas and the expert team will work with you on developing skills and ideas to make your activities offering even better!

Please note- The Bristol Bears Community Foundation Inclusion team deliver such activities as:

Boccia; New Age Kurling; Seated Dance; Indoor Archery; Balloon Tennis; Beach Ball games...and many more! The two interactive sessions will be based on your needs and requests for support, which may involve the list above, but could be something new. The team -who are well aware of care needs and challenges- will work with you to trial activities to take back and use in your own delivery settings. There will be plenty of space for working on activities and learning some new skills.
