During each two hour session, members can partake in various activities including card making, extended exercise, scrabble, dominoes and more. The group has recently obtained grants which have enabled it to employ a speech and language therapist, who is currently attending once a month. On the days when she does not attend, her suggestions and guidelines shape the work done with those who have communication difficulties. In addition, we now also employ a physiotherapist and an exercise tutor.
