Planning and initiating activities,
In our most recent session of service, we wanted to include more activities and games for the clients to use as we felt that it would benefit our clients to be more engaged in the service and also to help those who didn’t want to necessarily dance by giving them the opportunity to develop their motor skills in some fun games.
I decided that as chair of the service it was my responsibility to organize the booking of resources, then allowing the logistics representative to set up the session and collect the resources. It is essential for myself as chair to show commitment to the service and to take initiative. We have collectively spoken to the service leaders and they think that ordering this equipment would benefit the clients greatly.
The resources that I chose to order were based on two things that we decided. Number one that it should be more sports based such as simple games or balls.Number two, Musical instruments in order to make sure that the clients who didn’t want to dance could join in. The process was relatively easy and required some time and effort in order to make sure that the resources were ready and organised. This has been very successful thus far and I hope to improve the quality of the sessions that minds spend with us.
