Cookery and baking
We utilise the produce we grow to make soups, curries and other dishes.We also make biscuits, fudge, pizza, gingerbread, cup cakes and much more.
There is a role for everyone in the preparation and cooking process. We then share what we have made and eat together or take it home for our family or friends.

Trips out and about
We go on regular trips out, some are educational and some just for fun.
Tell us where you would like to go and we will try and make it happen!
Pottery
We go to pottery sessions at Halton Mill.
It is a fully equiped workhop that we hire, complete with potters wheel and kiln.
Dog walking
We walk dogs for Wolfwood Animal Rescue.
We collect them in our van and take them to parks or other nice places to walk them, this keeps both the dogs and us fit and healthy.
Cycling
We go cycling at Salt Arye and ride the adapted bikes. Sometimes we ride in the sports hall and sometimes we ride outside on the cycle track.
Sports
We go to Salt Arye to join in with their disability muti sports activities and we also hire the climbing wall and fitness studio there.
Yoga sessions
We have yoga sessions each week in a yoga studio with Rebecca. In this gentle yoga class we work to carefully stretch, strengthen and relax the body with simple and beautiful physical posture sequences.
Our greenhouses
There is plenty to do all year round in our greenhouses and poly tunnels. We grow plants, veg, herbs and do hanging baskets and containers. We have won awards for the horticultural work we have done
