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??

My daughter really settled in well and really looks forward to going, she especially enjoys the dance studio they attend and the football. Staff are brilliant and very supportive. Really glad I chose Phoenix for my daughters needs as I can rest assured that she is well looked after and safe.
