At Joymac, we strive to offer a whole new way of providing day services for people with a wide range of learning and physical disabilities. Activities are not based at a centre, but take place using local community facilities – providing a wider choice of
activities and better opportunities to become integrated into community life.
The person-centred programme is varied and stimulating, with each individual having a bespoke programme arranged according to their needs, abilities and desires. Some activities aim to increase independence skills whilst others are pure fun. Depending on the activity and the degree of support needed, people are able to take part on their own, with an activity worker or as part of a group.
Our activities are as varied as the people taking part, and include leisure and educational opportunities such as:
- College
- Conservation
- Cookery
- Hydrotherapy
- Literacy
- Multi-sensory room
- Outdoor pursuits
- Relaxation
- Day trips and visits to the theatre
- Hobbies such as art, craft, music, pottery and drama
- Social events such as bowling, concerts, the cinema and shopping
- Keep fit such as swimming, rambling, horse riding and wheelchair dancing
Supporting People
Our team arrange activities, keep records and set programmes that allow time for people to meet together, and enjoy relaxation and refreshment. Our staffs are on hand at all times and take responsibility for meeting personal care and dietary needs. People who use our services are able to prepare drinks and snacks at our base or choose to eat out locally. The expense of all local activities and fees within the timetable are usually covered by Joymac, whilst use of public transport is encouraged.
