Club Activity Days

MONTHLY SUPPORT MEETINGS

Monthly support meetings are arranged on the first Thursday of each month (this might vary during school holidays and there are no meetings during August). Various speakers are invited to these sessions. The sessions are held at Virgina House Centre between 10 and 12 and are very friendly and informal. They give an opportunity to meet other parents of disabled children and give an opportunity to exchange information and ideas.

The next meeting is on Thursday 4th June. Our speaker will be Lucy Tempest, Person Centred Planning Co-Ordinator, Plymouth Social Services.

FAMILY ACTIVITY DAYS

Family activity days are arranged during all school holidays for all the family to attend and have fun together. The days run between 10 and 1 and are held either at Virginia House Centre or at Woodlands School.  Sessions include arts and craft, cookery, the use of the multi sensory room, Hydrotherapy (when at Woodlands,) music and more. These sessions give the opportunity to meet other parents, disabled children and able bodied siblings, learn something new and to have a chat and a cup of coffee. We often have outside facilitators to run sessions for us to date this has included The Music Makers, Jimbo, Fantasy Faces, The Music Zone and Story tellars.

Sessions are run on the third Saturday of each month and during the school holidays on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  On the Thursday sessions we try to arrange trips to places such as The Donkey Sanctuary, The Music Zone, Vitalise Churchtown, Ice Skating, bowling and The Eden Project.

Most sessions are free of charge. If it is necessary to charge for sessions contributions are minimal.
