First Step Darlington - New Activities
The following is from First Stop Darlington.
Jess our wellbeing lead has a variety of groups on:
Monday 13:30 to 16:30 at the Edge centre on Corporation Road is our social group which offers a friendly welcome and plenty of laughter. We do crafts (mainly diamond art), knitting, Within this group we also have SJOG who attend who offer small group workshops for autistic individuals. There is also a pool table/dart board.
Tuesday 10th September at 6PM is the start of our highly successful Mastering your mindset course. Which is a 7 week course for one hour a week which explores self confidence/esteem/worth, how to overcome barriers and how to live a fulfilling life. Over the last two years 90% of those who have attended are either back into employment, enrolled in further education, or importantly living their life to the full now.
Wednesday mornings are the very popular Walk and Natter group. Meeting outside the South Park café at 10:30 – it is a very good way to meet new people, get some fresh air and take in the beauty of the park with lots of lovely people.
Thursday is both Allotment Day as well as Tai Chi! The fun begins at the allotment at 13:30 located at Bellburn Allotment off Brinkburn Road. Whether you’re a keen gardening or just want to spend some time relaxing in our beautiful allotment.
On Tuesday 20th August meeting in front of South Park’s clock tower at 10:30 we will be doing a family scavenger hunt alongside Family Help.
