In-house sessions

About our in-house sessions

Our in-house sessions are back! We take a flexible approach to individual requirements and offer a range of our skill-based sessions to help develop a customer’s potential.

Sessions are run between 9.30am and 4pm and include:

Bakespace

In this cookery session we encourage independence by making a wide variety of foods. We teach cooking skills, kitchen techniques, food hygiene and nutrition knowledge. In our longer sessions, there’s the chance to get involved in choosing ingredients and planning out menus.

Dancespace 2

We offer dance sessions tailored for wheelchair users or those with limited physical abilities. This fun, energetic session encourages social interaction and promotes the benefits of dance and movement for physical and mental health.

Sayspace

In Sayspace we encourage group discussion and problem solving through self-advocacy. The group discuss any issues they feel relevant, providing opportunities to advise each other and find solutions. This helps develop a sense of validation and independence.

Soundspace

In Soundspace we explore music of all forms. It is an interactive group where everyone is encouraged to express themselves using percussion, guitars and voice. Participants can request their favourite music to share with the group and we also have a traditional African drum circle, which encourages a real sense of togetherness through teamwork.

Soundspace 2

This session has been developed for individuals who appreciate music, but prefer a more intimate, calm environment. While Soundspace takes place within a larger, louder group, Soundspace2 participants enjoy a more ‘mellow’ atmosphere.

Createspace

This popular, creative session encourages participants to explore and express their individuality through a variety of artistic processes and mediums. We often print cards of the beautiful artwork created in these workshops with the proceeds going to charity. We also hold our annual Artspace exhibition to display and sell the work.

Digispace

Participants will have the chance to be involved in any area of digital media. Some skills will include the production and hosting of the Dayspace podcast, getting creative with videos for our YouTube channel and presenting Dayspace Radio. Whether customers choose to be on camera or work behind the scenes, they will be provided with the skills to use the technology that makes it all happen!

Signspace

At Dayspace we use Makaton signs with many of our customers as a form of communication. Signspace is a fun skills-based session, teaching makaton for everyday use. Each week we pick a theme and learn signs based around that subject.

Stagespace

This session gives people a chance to practice their performance skills, whether stand-up, acting, or dance. We use games and different drama techniques to help people express themselves and engage with their emotions.

Dancespace

This fun, energetic session encourages social interaction and promotes the benefits of dance and movement for physical and mental health. We also offer sessions tailored for wheelchair users or those with limited physical abilities.

Mixspace

Mixspace incorporates elements from many of the different Dayspace workshops. It allows participants to try things that they may not have tried before including music, dance, cooking, computer skills and relaxation.

Silverspace

Silverspace is designed for, and reflects the interests of, those of retirement age. Activities include cooking and singing as well as the occasional quiz to help ignite the memory. This session offers participants the chance to relax and chat with friends.

Tea dance

On Fridays, we hold the popular Silverspace Teadance, taking a trip down memory lane with tea, cake and live music. Everyone is encouraged to request their favourite classic song. You can clap, sing along, or get up and have a dance.

Movespace

This is an exercise group for individuals who have limited mobility or find exercise difficult. With music playing, we enjoy a variety of games designed to encourage gentle movement, teamwork and social interaction. It’s a lively atmosphere and everyone is encouraged to join in the fun!

Relaxspace

Relaxspace takes place in our sensory room, where we create a calm, therapeutic atmosphere. Participants can enjoy hand and foot massages, foot spas and guided relaxation.

Pamperspace

Those that attend Pamperspace get to enjoy various beauty and pampering treatments in a sociable, friendly, salon-style environment. Participants are encouraged to relax and engage in friendly conversation, improving social skills and confidence.
