Wednesday Social:

 

Wednesday at Pennine Mencap is a day like no other. We encourage Service Users from all over the borough to congregate at Rhodes Bank for a whole host of activities, games and fun.

 

Our group have use of a brand-new pool table, an LED-lit dart board and a massive catalogue of songs to sing karaoke to. The Wednesday Social crew are regularly belting out favourites from Neil Diamond, Take That, S Club 7 and everything in between. Furthermore, we hold a weekly quiz, where Service Users can win all manner of prizes.

 

Social activities like this are key to building Service User’s confidence when in “real world” social situations. Building up their confidence when interacting with others, can greatly impact a Service User’s day-to-day life. Learning confidence is key for a huge variety of social situations, like asking for help, talking with utility providers, or even ordering food.
