Art

Art can take many forms at Leaps and Bounds, be that painting, drawing, colouring or diamond art. Diamond art is particularly helpful in reducing levels of stress and anxiety,  provides focus, improves concentration and can make them more confident and productive which will help them to pick up things faster.

Music

Music is a relatively new addition to Leaps and Bounds. Dancing and singing are a great release where our adults can let their hair down and just enjoy music!!

Pottery

Pottery is a something that is at the heart of our charity as it serves multiple purposes to allow our adults to create, paint and glaze pottery (we have our own kiln for firing pottery). There is then also an opportunity to sell this pottery (with help form out adults!) at craft fairs and (hopefully!) online one day.

Sensory Room

There is a sensory room at Leaps and Bounds where adults can retire whenever they feel the need. It is a very relaxing space outside of the main area where they can have some quiet time and enjoy colours, sounds or music in a safe environment.

Cookery

We actively encourage our adults to cook in our kitchen. This sometimes is just a cake, some muffins or just acting as a help whilst creating lunch. This another focus activity with fairly immediate (and delicious!) results. Confidence increases with this in the hope that they can use these skills outside Leaps and Bounds.
