A big shoutout to Peter from our Treehouse service who, last week, took a brilliant step forward in his independence and confidence by cooking his own lunch β a delicious homemade lentil soup! π
This hands-on experience is part of Peterβs journey towards achieving his SQA in Healthy Eating, where he will be exploring his relationship between food, health and wellbeing.
In Treehouse, we offer a diverse range of activities, tailored to personal interests and needs, including vocational and accredited courses like Peter`s SQA, to empower individuals to not be limited in life, instead supporting them to thrive.
A huge well done Peter! π

Last week, Pawel from our Treehouse service made the most of the sunshine, enjoying activities that sparked his creativity and wellbeing.
π¦ He crafted bird feeders from coconut shells and explored the campus to find the perfect spots to hang them.
π¨βπ³ In the kitchen, he teamed up with Learning and Wellbeing Practitioner, Mark, to make top hats – a fun and tasty treat!
π Then after a busy day, he enjoyed some quiet time – writing his own story inspired by his favorite Toy Story characters and then unwinding with building blocks.
These hands-on activities are one of the many simple yet engaging ways to boost his wellbeing and encourage creativity.
