“The first workshop I started coming to was Graphics, I really enjoy it and love it down there. Sometimes I struggle mixing with certain patients but I like mixing with other directorates. It fills in my time and keeps me occupied. I like the atmosphere. I’ve learnt new skills and how to use machinery. It has meant I am more motivated and confident. It has helped to reduce my risk as I am trusted with tools and to work on machines.”
“I go to CRB ( central restores building ) Horticulture twice a week and do some digging. I like keeping on top of my jobs and responsibilities. I need constructive work to fill my time. If I don’t have sessions off ward I will spend time in my room which doesn’t help my recovery. I recently visited main horticulture and loved the wildlife and seeing the animals, I am stunned and amazed at how different it is to the CRB and am excited to start Trade Skills as I have been a bricklayer in the past. I am concerned I am going to lose sessions as I take my programme seriously and cutting programmes will have a massive effect on patients. I am hoping to attend woodwork in the future so I can learn from skilled staff and relearn skills I have had in the past.”
Thanks
"Enjoyable workshops"
