Recreation, Sport and Leisure

Activities include regular visits to the local gym.   Football matches are arranged with local charitable organisations. Clients walk or bicycle daily between the various Nelson Trust buildings on the extended village site.

We also run a popular monthly outdoor pursuits programme where clients spend a day with a team of trained outdoor pursuit specialists at different locations.   Clients can choose to participate in a range of activities such as canoeing, caving, orienteering, raft building, rock climbing, abseiling and archers.   These activity days are great for team building and good fun for everyone.

Recreational activities are also available at the various houses,  pool, table tennis, music, TV and card games are all on offer and clients can arrange film evenings and quiz nights.

Special events are organised for Christmas and the New Year and Resettlement clients are taken camping in the summer.   There are special art and craft week end activities every two or three months as funding allows.
