Fun activities in Cardiff

Since the start of the year, there has been an increase in the number of activities in Cardiff. Staff have been working on setting up more weekend activities for people supported.

David, Samit and Fiona had a great time at The Royal Mint Experience

David, Fiona and Samit travelled to The Royal Mint Experience in Llantrisant to learn about where money comes from and how it is made.

They learned all about the history of money, such as when the first coin was made. They also got to see the London 2012 Olympic bronze, silver, and gold medals.

As a reminder of the experience, they were lucky enough to press their own coin and take it home.

They all enjoyed it and are hoping to do some more fun activities in the future.

Additionally, pamper days are a fun day out and are also a great way to improve your wellbeing and your mental health. After a few difficult months, staff decided to take Robin out for a day of pampering and food to help lift his spirits.

At the spa, Robin had many treatments including a hot stone pebble massage on his legs, which he really enjoyed.

After the spa, Robin – supported by staff – went for a walk through the local park to soak up the sun. After a short walk, they had lunch at Longa Turkish café where Robin ordered fried eggs and sucuk (dried sausage) and his favourite coffee, a cappuccino.

With a little encouragement from staff Robin’s wellbeing improved, and everyone had a fantastic day relaxing and treating themselves.
