A message from the BDDF team
Dear Members,
Firstly we would like to wish you all a Happy New Year!
We find ourselves in lockdown 3.0 but we are hoping to put a smile on your faces with our free online activities.
We are running weekly seated yoga and Friday Tea-break club. We have had to put our Walks and 1:1 IT training on hold until Gov guidelines allow us to restart.
Zoom help
If you are having difficulties using Zoom please do get in touch - we'd really love you all to join in any of our activities that are of interest so don't be shy asking for our help!
Wellbeing course
Our new virtual Wellbeing course is underway and being very well received by the participants. This 2 hour per week program running over 5 weeks is covering aspects of anxiety management, confidence building and promoting good sleep practices. If this course would benefit you do get in touch and if enough people are interested we will try to run it again.
Care Calls
We have ran a pilot program to make calls to check in on our members over the last couple of months. If you haven't had a call from one of our team and would like to hear from us, or have a friend or family member who would benefit from a 'care call' please get their permission and send us their telephone number.
Disability issues or questions?
BDDF offer a signposting service to help enhance members quality of life and promote positive mental health. We work with you to seek out solutions to non-medical issues affecting your quality of life, mood and wellbeing.
Disability information day
Our next annual disability information day will be virtual. It will provide an opportunity for you to find out about local services available to you in our area.
Local organisations with an interest in disability are very welcome to get in touch to find out how to get involved.
We will be in touch regularly, keeping you up to date with clubs, sessions and exciting new projects as well as news from the Borough. Please feel free to share this newsletter with any interested parties.
Best wishes
Amanda, Sarah, Ani & the Trustees.
