Bethphage are delighted to launch a new exciting project called GET SMART.\u00a0 The idea came about during the Covid-19 Lockdown restrictions.\u00a0 Our Day Opportunities were actively organising online events including cookery sessions, fitness, poetry reading and social and fun nights for the people we support with learning disabilities, their support workers and families.<\/p>\n
We wanted to improve the range of facilities and equipment we have to offer and decided to fundraise to purchase<\/span> 3 interactive SMART Screens for our Day Opportunities and Supported Living Scheme.<\/p>\n We were delighted to receive a \u00a310,000 Award from the Severn Trent Community Fund<\/a> and \u00a31,200 from Basil Houghton Memorial Trust<\/a> to help fund this project.\u00a0 The investment has made a massive difference to the people we support as the interactive screens provide an excellent platform to host ongoing educational and learning programmes and social opportunities.<\/p>\n This all-inclusive ongoing project will improve the well-being of the people we support with learning disabilities, their families and friends, our staff, and local communities.<\/p>\n Not forgetting of course, the fun and games and experiences we can all share using this technology.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are bowled over by the feedback we have received from everyone.\u00a0 There is something there for everyone, even the opportunity to support a lady who would like to create her book of poetry.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWith a lot more activities planned for the year we are incredibly grateful for the grants we received to make this project happen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud to have supported this fantastic new project, that brings people together to learn, have fun and improve their wellbeing. I recently visited the centre in Ellesmere and it was heart-warming to see the difference the project is making and how much enjoyment it\u2019s bringing.”<\/em><\/p>\n
