Arts and Crafts

We do a range of accessible innovative art and crafts with the clients i.e. embroidery, painting, creating art for the centre boards etc.

Exercise and Movement

Everyday we have either a exercise or yoga session which motivates our clients to get moving and stay active.

Research shows that physical activity can also boost self-esteem, mood, sleep quality and energy, as well as reducing your risk of stress, clinical depression, dementia and Alzheimer's disease - from NHS Website

Outdoor Activities

Once a week in the Summer (weather permits) Service Users go out to the Allotment to do some gardening and tend to their plants which can have many benefits mentally and physically.

It’s great when the sun is out Service Users get to use the local community park spaces.

Games

Games session at APDA are the most fun when Service Users get involved in activities using their motor skills and coordination. Service Users also enjoy board games.

Outings

Getting our Service Users out in the community, going to heritage sites, local parks, we believe in taking part in outdoor activities.

Music Therapy, Dancing and Singing

More than occasionally we like a sing and dance at our centre with our resident music therapist DJ Narayann, and traditional and modern Indian dancing with our dance therapist Binal, these sessions get the clients (and staff) moving.

Events and Celebrations

At APDA we like to celebrate many festivals and many Civil Awareness Days.
