Inspiring people in the countryside

In production of the content for this exciting & vibrant new online offering, we have drawn from the talent and inspirational outdoor knowledge of our nationwide team.  From the northern tip of Scotland down through the spine of England's green and pleasant lands, to the Southern most shores, our team of activity designers have come up with a blend of practical, entertaining and exciting activities. 

I really like doing the activities with my Dad & making projects with him at home. I like taking photos of what I have done & sending them to you!

I also enjoy the word searches and puzzles because I can do these independently. I really like the videos because they help me learn more about the countryside.

During the Covid-19 lockdown, David’s father was working from home all week. It was left mainly to me (his mother) to provide David's education and exercise, in order to maintain his mental wellbeing.

Eventually you run short of ideas, so when you introduced this online activity programme, we can only say how grateful we were to have it in our lives. It provided(s) stability and familiarity into David’s world, & provided our family with invaluable respite through this challenging time.

The activity bundles provide age appropriate tasks to be completed, and we as parents have enjoyed helping, learning and completing the activity suites as a family.

Even when restrictions eventually lift, we feel this programme will be very beneficial to your other clients, as it allows continuity of your service during weekends, term breaks & holidays.

Activity Plans

A nice touch for your activity delivery: A TIMED PLAN!

  • Worried that your adults in care will lose the thread of an activity you are running?
  • Don’t be! For you professional carers / parents, follow our timed activity plan, with timing alerts.
  • These are tried and tested activities and the timing increments REALLY WORK FOR YOU & WILL KEEP YOUR ADULTS IN CARE ENGAGED!

Tips & Tricks to enhance the activity!

  • We offer 'Light Bulb' idea prompts to lift or add value to your care/domestic home or garden activity.
  • These will include suggestions for alternative resources or activity adaptions. i.e. How to tweak activity process for an indoor setting.

Seeing is believing!

  • In designing this online programme, we took time to think what would be the most useful ‘tools’ for a parent/carer/guardian to most effectively deliver any given activity subject matter.
  • ‘How to’ short video clips will accompany each activity, giving the 'session leader', invaluable tips & guidance on activity delivery.
  • From our expansive club photo library, we have attached contextual picture galleries for each activity.
  • These provide both you the parent/carer/guardian AND the child(ren) with invaluable tutelage guidelines.
