There are a number of activities we offer to residents as part of life at Laura Fergusson Community. Individuals are encouraged to set goals, and are supported to achieve them. Some activities take place “on site” and may be group or individual, whilst others involve community participation. Partnership is promoted within the Laura Fergusson Community environment through the active contribution of residents to quality circles, and a variety of daily activities—i.e. gardening, cooking, planning and preparation of special events.
Many consumers contribute to the wider community through paid or voluntary employment, as well as being involved in various community leisure / interest groups.
A comprehensive day-care programme benefits clients who are at home all day although this is limited to what funding is available. These groups work within our philosophy to encourage and work in partnership with the residents to incorporate day to day teaching, learning and fun into their everyday lives.
A new initiative is now beginning at the community...
