We also try different activities such as arts and crafts, relaxation techniques, art therapy and Tai Chi.

We invite external speakers such as InterAct Stroke Support who read poetry, short stories and host quizzes.

We sometimes run monthly challenges such as taking photos on a theme. Members use our LEGS Social WhatsApp group to share interesting stories, photos and to stay in touch.
