Staff can hardly believe how much progress our Bolsover residents have been making of late!
AJ enjoyed doing several small Spider-man themed jigsaws (who doesn't like Spider-man!?). He was so relaxed, engaged and positively stimulated throughout the activity. 🕷️
LN took the initiative to show staff member Harvey how to play Operation, retrieving the winning pieces each time. 👨⚕️
MG engaged in a baking session with staff, choosing to make sponge cakes, measuring all ingredients out with support, mixing them together and decorating with icing. 🍰

Cooking is always more fun together. 🧑🍳
Some of our lovely service users at Mundy Street rose to the challenge of making savoury muffins and cheese & potato bake.
This was part of one of our regular cook-and-eat sessions, where the people we support can develop skills in the kitchen within a safe, comfortable, supportive environment.
