Activities

Young people are encouraged to undertake activities both as a group and individually. We provide opportunities to develop leisure interests which are appropriate for the young person’s abilities, culture, race, religion and language.

We aim to develop independence through structured and scaffolded time. It is vital to develop a balance between organised activities and unstructured time, which the young people can choose to spend as they wish. Downtown and relaxation is supported for example, watching television or playing appropriate games on the PlayStation. All Computer games are age appropriate.

We facilitate: Horse riding, ice skating, arts and crafts, cinema trips, cooking, fishing, go karting, rock climbing, activity centres, paint balling, water sports, theme parks, camping trips, visiting new places, towns, cities, etc, sessions at the gym and fitness classes, bike rides, general fitness interests, leisure centres, swimming, badminton, squash classes, drama and singing classes. The young people are encouraged to join clubs .

All new interests, hobbies or activities are encouraged and developed. At Parkwood, we aim to nurture the interest of the individual and therefore we find bespoke activities for our young people.
