This is a weekly evening activity where the members enjoy a social setting whilst also learning basic skills. Members with a LD are offered in-project volunteering roles. A variety of games are played that widen knowledge, improve skills and encourage more social interaction. Each week a Quiz is held which requires our members to be aware of Current Affairs.
Why they need our serviceThis is an evening activity for local young people and adults with a LD. It is very popular with the Charity's younger membership who enjoy to socialise after normal Day Care Centre hours. This project aids integration as there are a large number of volunteers of all ages helping the members with numeracy and literacy whilst playing in teams.
Plan and expected resultsTo encourage LD members to work in teams and communicate with each other and with staff and volunteers. To improve literacy, numeracy and general knowledge of current affairs.
