Service User Activities

Part of the day-to-day work of our staff is to support people in taking part in regular activities which are of interest to them, for example:

• Sporting activities
• Social events such as bowling
• Getting together with relatives
• Planning holidays

People are also supported in their daily activities such as going shopping, preparing meals and managing their homes.

Some of the activities Turnstone organises are funded by a Department of Health Carers grant, allowing people to take part in activities of their choice and family carers to take a break from their usual commitments to do other things.

At Turnstone we also host our own programme of events for people in our services, which includes:

• Christmas parties
• Summer BBQs
• Organised groups such as arts and crafts groups
• Activities on the computer

Uniquely Turnstone has a state of the art sensory room in Aylesbury, in which people can experience light, music and sound therapy.

The multi-sensory room provides those with other means of communication with additional ways to express themselves and interact with their environment, as well as the 'feel good' factor.
