services you would like to see

ITK

Hi everyone

I work for a charity and I am looking to develop a service in the Wiltshire area. To do this it would be great to know what sort of services for pasttimes and activities people who live in that area require so we can plan to meet that need. 

Any information you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  • Personally, I would really appreciate simply having somewhere to socialise that is free from bright lighting, loud background music and distracting TV screens.  I like socialising with people in moderation, but I find so few social environments where my ability to hold a conversation isn't hampered by having my senses constantly bombarded with distractions.

    I would also consider choosing a venue that can offer you a second, smaller space to act as a 'refuge' for anyone who needs time out due to sensory or emotional overload.  I am always far more comfortable in a situation when I know that I can escape it quickly should I become overwhelmed.

    Best of luck with your new service - I'm sure it will be much apprecaited by the people who join you!
