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.

That`s why we`ve put together a list of fun, inclusive activities in the surrounding local areas to help make the most of the holiday.

On Monday, the young adults and staff from Gate visited The Japanese Gardens at Cowden for a mindful day outdoors and to spot the first signs of spring. πΈ
They started with a hot drink outside before exploring the gardens, looking for frogs and frog spawn, and crossing the bridge over the water. Then, after a picnic lunch, they walked through the woodland to find the wishing tree and fairy house village.
The visit gave them the opportunity to develop their life skills like handling cash, ordering drinks, and engaging with new people, all while soaking in the wellbeing benefits of nature. π³
As one of the young adults put it:
π¬ "This is such a beautiful day to be alive."
A huge thanks to the staff at @cowdengarden for being so helpful and informative. π₯°
