This Cardiff Council course is aimed specifically at activities co-ordinators and anyone involved in activities for people in residential care settings.

Continued physical movement is massively important to maintain flexibility, retain independence and encourage confidence. The workshops are specifically designed for care teams, volunteers and family members and are achievable yet fun. We believe that activity shouldn’t be the responsibility of one person and ensure our learners understand the importance of continued mobility for raised self-esteem and continued independence.  All our workshops are experiential so learners will be joining in rather than just listening to the trainer or reading paperwork.
