Out of House

Here at Mary & Joseph we offer a wide variety of activities for residents to improve physical health, social networks and self-esteem. We believe that engaging in activities in the local community encourages social inclusivity and challenges addictive behaviour.

Andy, our activities co-ordinator produces a weekly activities programme catering for a wide variety of interests. He has support from our 3 other Therapeutic Workers who support residents out of the home on activities. We have three vehicles on site, including a 8 seat Minibus.

At present our activities programme includes a weekly visit to St.Marys Irish Community Club, swimming, bowling, fishing, local walks, bingo, cinema trips, music shows, theatre trips and exhibitions. There is a local gym where residents are able to get a membership for.

We also organise an activities week once a year where every day the residents and staff go on a different activities out of the home every day.
