Per 2021: staff had involved people in choosing new hobbies including bird watching, building an insect house and creating a library. Per 2019: People supported to go to park, bowling, cinema, disco.
Points to consider
No dedicated activities coordinator or specialist programmes, so the role mixes personal care with basic outings and hobbies like bowling or bird watching.
No mention of activities coordinator or named programmes such as Namaste Care; activities limited to outings (bowling, cinema, park, disco) and hobbies (bird watching, insect house).
