WHO ARE WE

We at Phoenix believe it is a person’s right to be able to express themselves, learn and develop at their own pace to become as independent and self-advocating as possible , whilst been supported to a high level by our qualified/ experienced/ enthusiastic team.

WHO WE WORK WITH

We work with a wide range of people with many different needs and requirements.

OUR SESSIONS

Phoenix is a person centred service which supports a small & medium number of people a day,  so no-one gets over looked or forgotten.

We offer variety of activities all with positive outcomes that will help and support to learn the skills we ALL need in life. To name but a few…

 

INDEPENDENT LIVING

At Phoenix we also look to the future and try and provide opportunity to learn and develop skills for life. This can include cooking, ironing, using a washing machine, hoovering up and many other household skills. We provide a homely learning environment and everyone is encouraged to support each other looking after the building and contents.

Our Building is OUR building so what we don’t do today… its waiting for us tomorrow

 

CRAFT

Recycled Craft/Art work producing some fantastic results using things we would otherwise discard. Therapeutic and inspiring

Walking group

We love to visit local places of interest and regular spend time at Wesport Lake. Apedale. Silverdale Park to name but a few, often collecting things as we go to use in our art projects.

ALLOTMENT

We have a safe gated allotment with toilet facilities. We grow to take home or use at Phoenix and have had some wonderful crops! As we are all increasingly aware the outdoors is fantastic medium for our mental /physical well being.

DANCE & Movement

On a Wednesday we use King Street Studios and with a professional dance/yoga instructor, we spend the afternoon learning new dances and movement, putting on our small routine at Christmas. This venue is perfect to let off that mid week steam and shake some moves ! Or…sit back and enjoy the tunes.

computers

We have our own laptops/computers/ ipads for safe supported sessions accessing the internet or using as a paint pad or writing skills.

 

sport

Keele University Sports Centre also provide us with a weekly slot where we enjoy all ranges of sporty fun.

We work with a fully qualified pro on a local private golf course, exercise and fresh air, again, getting a theme here??
