Disability Services Home ALI Network Supported Accomodation
             
   

The aim of ALI is to provide service users with access to community based recreation and leisure services; also to link them with mainstream educational and vocational agencies. Over recent years we have worked with service users on an individual and small group basis to encourage and support their lifestyle choices. We have seen many positive changes take place over the years with many service users gaining new skills, increasing confidence in their own abilities and becoming active members in their own community.


A number of ALI service users take part in the weekly music sessions which have included drumming lessons, percussion instruments and karaoke singing; A great time is had by all participants when expressing their appreciation of music.

 

A weekly gym program encourages ALI clients to think about their fitness with individual programs to suit all levels and abilities.

 

Art as Therapy is a weekly program that is increasing in popularity with our service users. Visiting Art Galleries, completing self portraits and exhibiting their works of art in the local regional library all contribute towards promoting higher levels of self esteem and confidence.
