A Boccia session will be held at Caring Together’s Wednesday Group at Little London Community Centre tomorrow. between 2pm and 3pm. This game is played as a group and is similar to bowls, yet indoors, it is great exercise which tests muscle, control and accuracy, and fun, with the opportunity to play games in teams. Boccia has origins in ancient Greece, where players threw large stones at a small target.
If you would like to attend and have a go phone Lisa on 01132430298

World Story Day at Caring Together took place last month on the 20th March. We meant to post this earlier but had issues with loading videos that we wanted to show. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to do this but hope to get this sorted and show them at some point in the future. So for now pictures will suffice. This was a great afternoon with members reading their own stories or excerpts from the work of others. Short stories and poetry. It was all there in the mix. We were also delighted to have Leeds very own author Chris Nickson in attendance who read an excerpt from his most recent novel, the Leaden Heart. Many thanks to all who took part. I can see this becoming an annual thing for us.
Staff from the William Merritt Centre visited our Tuesday and Wednesday Groups last week. The information sessions were well received.
The William Merritt centre is a charity and a social enterprise. They offer impartial and professional advice for Children and Adults carrying out assessments for clients, healthcare professionals and members of the public about daily living aids. They offer a try before you buy ethos allowing clients to identify individual needs to enhance their independence.
They are also a Regional Driving Assessment Service and do driving assessments, passenger assessments and assessments for vehicle adaptations.
Caring Together held its now annual Springtime Tea at Little London Community Centre last Thursday. As usual it was well attended and supported. These days always have a lovely feel about them. Many thanks to all those who volunteered on the day and who donated cakes for the occasion.
