Pleck Community Base: Things that we do…

Wheelchair ice-skating Wheel chairs are supported onto the ice by staff and supervised as they enjoy ice-skating. Bowling We use a small bowling alley in Bloxwich to have friendly competitions against each other.

Computer skills We go to the local library and take part in a computer course. Library Lots of us are now members at the local library, who let us keep some books at the base to read.

Fishing Some of us walk to the canal and go fishing. We are thinking about trying some other places too. Cooking We use the kitchen to make healthy meals and to learn new skills

Drama We have set up a drama group where we all take part in making a drama performance. Exercise Our staff have thought up an exercise session which is designed to be gentle and include all of us.

Church service St John’s have a mid week day time service for the local community which we can go to. Some of us help out in the church as well. Snooker We have snooker games, and people that are interested go to a local snooker club to try it on bigger tables.

Communication skills Jill Westwood runs a skills group once a week for people who need some help to communicate. Friends Together This group meets once a month at Pelsall. It is for old and new friends to meet up, socialise and arrange events and fundraisers.
