Louise Smyth runs our keep fit sessions at Waverley on Tuesdays between 6.30 – 7.30pm.  

It is a mixed ability group and everyone is welcome. We do a mixture of aerobic and toning exercises that are suitable for any ability. We provide mats and all the equipment you need. There is no need to book, you can just turn up and join in.

There are two Thursday club groups that meet on alternate weeks.

The groups usually meet at 6.30pm at Waverley Hall but then spend most of their time out and about doing whatever it is they have chosen to do.

Some of the most popular choices are going to the pub, for meals, ten-pin bowling, nightclubs, trips on the train, to the theatre and to local events put on by all sorts of different people.

We have space for up to 10 people in each group and we don’t always stay together on trips out. Smaller groups sometimes want to go to different places but a member of staff always goes with them.

There is a small charge to attend the group to cover materials and refreshments and people have to pay for whatever activities they choose to do.

FRIendcap is an evening social group where the members choose the activities. The group is open to all adults with a learning disability.

The group runs from 4.30pm to 7.00pm every Friday evening and costs £4.00. We don’t provide support so if you need help with personal care or to take medication you will need to bring a support worker with you.

Members are invited to choose the activities.
