PROFESSIONALS - FAIRWAY PACKAGE

Fairway comes as a package of support. This is because each area of activity supports areas requiring developing.

• The social activity is designed to develop the all important social and communication skills we require to strike up conversations and interact with people in everyday life. It also supports the learning around budgeting, activity planning and dealing with every day issues we can come upon when out.

• The improvised workshops back up the learning we do out on activities. Role playing these issues and realising the right and wrong way to do things. The workshops cover all issues from relationships, bullying, knowing your rights to planning your future and many more.
