Day Services
Adult Social Care
After leaving Education, Camphill Wakefield provides a Day Services provision on Monday-Friday from 9am to 3.30pm. Our social care service offers meaningful activities inside and outside of college. These include:
- Life Skills
- Garden Activities
- Small Animal Care
- Pottery
- Multi Crafts
Outside of college, our community access coordinator provides the opportunity for our students to participate in volunteering. Some examples of this volunteering include: environmental projects; helping out at foodbanks; and gardening at the allotments.
Day services students are given the opportunity to develop their existing Life Skills by creating goals and aiming to hit targets to progress on to the next stage of their lives. Students have a lot of input into leisure activities as well as life skills activities. They work with staff to plan plenty of trips out to leisure facilities such as the cinema, bowling and lovely walks in various locations.
Our Day Services Manager, Michelle Tooala, oversees the provision and works alongside staff, parents and carers to help the students excel in day-to-day life. Please contact Michelle Tooala on 07311383091, or email michelle.tooala@camphill.ac.uk for more details.
