Clubbing It
Here at Bradbury Fields we offer a secure, understanding and
friendly environment for people with a visual impairment.
We have five social activity clubs spanning accross Monday to Thursday from
10:30am-2:00pm.
The majority of our groups can accomodate up to 30 people.
All of our clubs are very active and there is always something different
going on from quizzes to get your mind in shape and exercise to get your body
in shape!
The list of activities is endless; from cookery to gardening to craft and games.
Each activity is designed with the specific needs of those with a visual impairment
in mind.
We provide both hot and cold meals, prepared freshly each day at the centre.
Our afternoon sessions usually consist of various entertainment including talks
on health issues, the environment, local history, as well as this we have a variety
of singers so we can all let loose and have a dance.
We also offer hairdressing, massage and chiropody services here at the centre all
at a reduced cost.
All of the staff and volunteers working within Bradbury Fields attend a visual
awareness training course prior to starting work with us so are fully aware of
the specific needs faced by those who attend.
Many of our volunteers are themselves visually impaired - this offers not only
a higher understanding, but also offers encouragement to new members who may feel
anxious at starting something new.
You cannot put a price on the importance of social interation and the benefits each
individual gets from sharing information, tips and suggestions.
