MADS Update
We’ve been keeping very busy at the group and we have had some amazing sessions lately and we have welcomed two of our members into the volunteering team at the group too. Here’s what we have been up to.
First of all we had Jon from Animals for Parties visit us again and this always ends up being a great day. We have cuddles with the likes of rabbits, skinny pigs, tortoises, a bearded dragon, guinea pigs, a snake and even a chance to hold the beautiful barn owl. This is always a very fun day. My personal favourite part every time is always holding the owl. I feel like I’m straight from the Harry Potter books ha ha.
Then a few weeks later we had Helen Disley from the U3A come along and do a craft workshop where the members had decorated shells and our members really made a fantastic job of them as shown in the images to the right. It was nice to have something different and the members really enjoyed taking part in this activity.
If you have any ideas for something you would like to come and do for the group then please do get in touch with us and reach out. We welcome any ideas or suggestions for things that could be nice and craft, informative or something fun for our members to take part in.
At the time of writing this we are currently in the process of also having a visit from the Syston Community Flood Group.
We’re always looking for people who can possibly come and have a drop-in, workshop or anything at all that could be beneficial to our members. If you’re a healthcare professional who can provide information based on Mental Health then we would love to hear from you.
