Description

Active offer a range of opportunities that enable people to fully participate in their communities. We support people to explore the range of activities available so they can choose the ones that best help them achieve their goals and aspirations.

Active work with people to determine the level and type of support required to engage safely and effectively in the activities they choose. The focus of the service is to develop skills and increase confidence levels so that people can maximise independence and control over their lives.

Active provide tailored individualised support for people living in their own home, either on their own or with others.

• Recreational and leisure activities
• Educational interests
• Volunteer and work related opportunities
• Financial planning/ budgeting and support to pay bills and claim benefits
• Managing relationships and conflicts with co-tenants and neighbours

The focus of the service is to support people to be in control of all decisions that affect their lives, develop skills, maximise independence, play an active part in their local community and live life to the full.
