Location
The position of the unit on Wandhills Avenue is conveniently located and in walking distance for Skelton residents and there is ample parking facilities in well-lit areas for those travelling to us by car. Two disabled parking spaces directly out front with ample overflow on the main road with disabled access using the side pathway passing our sensory garden to our main entrance. With the new infrastructure in place, Skelton Industrial Estate is without question a hive of activity and this facility will only enhance footfall and spending in Skelton helping our local economy.
Dementia Friendly sessions
The venue will host chair based fitness for those less able bodied. These will be dementia friendly classes. We can host multiple care homes to come to us for sessions. We will offer Dementia friendly Cinema Screenings. As well as movement to music sessions we can allow time afterwards for refreshments and social time to help reduce isolation for vulnerable adults.
Our local Co-op are kindly sponsoring our kitchen. Refreshments for “Talk time” will allow us to offer these to our community. Once times are safe (post covid) we can allow social time after most sessions. We want to encourage this for our service users to feel less isolated, part of the community and build friendships.
Private Hire
Senses will be available for private hire including Personal Trainers, dance teachers, community groups and networking events. Day provision can access our venue for group fitness sessions. The unit can also be hired for private functions including birthday parties (bouncy castle extra), children’s themed events and music group rehearsals. Wellness projects with motivational speakers and mindset coaches will also be on offer in the future.
