Providing Independent Living Support for Adults with Learning Difficulties in South Gloucestershire
SMILE Wellbeing Group
About the Group
The Wellbeing group was created during the pandemic when SMILE realised that our services users needed somewhere safe to go during the pandemic whilst hospitality and day to day services were closed. Wellbeing group is a safe place in the community where our service users can express themselves and take part in wellbeing, life skills and Fun activities.
​
The Group is run by Helen our Activities Co-ordinator. Helen is a keen baker and craft enthusiast, who loves planning all sorts of exciting activities.
​
The SMILE Wellbeing group is about learning different ways to keep yourself feeling well, happy and enjoying life. This is achieved by connecting with others, Life skills, keeping active and healthy, different crafts and activities and Day trips.
