Practicing Independent Living Skills

Increasing the ability of each person to look after themselves and contribute to their individual self-esteem is seen in sessions throughout the week at each of our venues.

At William Street we have a mock flat, where service users can learn to make the bed, to hoover and dust, to do some washing, to load the dishwasher, to make drinks and to iron. Each is a key skill in learning to be independent.

In each of our venues, our service users are active in the kitchen with cooking sessions, which include purchasing the ingredients or harvesting from the garden. We regularly go out into the community to the shops and cafes and hold sessions accessing public transport.
