During our fifteen years as Health and Social Care Trainers we had plenty of opportunity to develop our ideas about activity resources for older people, in particular those with dementia and also adults with disabilties. We were able to gather first hand information about the specific needs of Service Users, Care Staff, Care Home Managers, Occupational Therapists, Hospital workers and Volunteers.
It became increasingly evident to us both that the key to increasing well being and fulfillment amongst older people and adults with disabilites was to offer a comprehensive range of activity choices that were wide ranging, practical, easy to use and age appropriate. This was the point at whcih Activites To Share was launched from a wood cabin in the garden in 2009!
We are expanding each year and from our warehouse in Canterbury - we now supply to hundreds of Care Homes, Day Centres and Suported Living Schemes nationwide , in USA, Australia and The Channel Islands.
