Tech 1-2-1
As with WalkMyWay, Tech 1-2-1 was adapted from our monthly Tech Group.
If you are unable to come along to these groups but require assistance, we have volunteers ready and able to see if they can assist you over the phone or arrange a home visit if suitable.
WalkMyWay
WalkMyWay was created during COVID19. With services and activities coming to a sudden holt, it was for us to think how we could bring them to you. WalkMyWay was initially a service for long cane users only due to social distancing but with these rules changing regularly and with access to PPE we can now offer this to more people.
If you find you cannot make the Walthew Walkers Group for any reason, then this offers a guided/supported walk from your own home to a green space or park close by, stop for a sit and chat half way through if you like and then walk back home. It has received great feedback with service users mentioning benefits to both their physical and mental health.
Penpals
We have teamed up with a local primary school with the aim of bringing our community together and overcoming isolation.
Please get in touch if either yourself or someone you know with a sensory loss may be interested.
