In a stew!!!

To promote independence and skills Kurt has been assisting staff in the kitchen today to prepare and cook the evening meal which will be a warming hearty homemade chicken stew.

At The Willows we feel it is of great importance to involve all the service user's in as much of everyday skills that we all take for granted.

Here you can see Kurt in full infection control kit starting the prep work with a bright smile upon his face......... lets hope there is some left for me to try yummy!!!!!

Sport relief mile

Kurt & Sheriff supported by Jim took part in the sport relief mile yesterday in Trowbridge park, this was a great achievement and help raise money for a great cause.

The weather was ideal and everyone really enjoyed the atmosphere of the event - well done!

Asdan

As mentioned in the previous post Sheriff is undertaking his Asdan awards and he went shopping on thursday after completing the shopping list.

Sheriff was supported to do this with a member of staff in the local supermarket and managed to stay within budget.

Well done Sheriff!

Asdan

As Asdan is now well under way at the Willows more of the service users are taking interest at gaining awards and this week Sheriff started off on an independent living awarded.

Sheriff has been doing his laundry, helping to serve a main meal for the service users and staff and is now compiling a shopping list from the menu so he can be supported to get the food for the weekend.

Well done to you Sheriff!!

Red Belt

To encourage fitness and an outside interest Kurt has taken up kick boxing along with Sheriff and has already achieved his red belt so well done to Kurt and keep up the good work!!!

Busy day

Sheriff and Jamie spent much of the day at Laser Quest in Bristol supported by Jim. They all had great fun in the chosen activity and are already planning the next round, which they say will include more of the service users and staff team.

Christine had an enjoyable morning at Ashton Street doing various craft activities before returning home, then out with Sue for a tea & Cake supported by Gill.

Grazina spent the morning at work answering the phones and copy typing, which she really enjoyed.

John has just left to go to college to do his catering course.

All in all a very busy but enjoyable day had by all and the weekend has not even started!

I can do that!

Grazina has enjoyed learning new skills in the kitchen with support from staff and this is all in preparation towards independent living which Grazina is now undertaking for her ASDAN award.

Good Morning

Christine loves to have her picture taken and for this one she is all smiles.

Christine enjoys a cup of tea in bed in the mornings before getting up for her breakfast and more tea then support from staff to enable her to get ready for the day ahead.

Christine has a day off from Ashton Street today so had a relaxed morning after being supported before popping into town to buy some slippers.
