Resources & Guidance
Resources and guidance:
Mostly held in-person, activity groups should be held in-line with Covid-19 social distancing guidance.
This wouldn’t be possible without the contributions of The Boaz Trust and Space4U.
Social activity groups involve holding in-person groups. Groups can be centred around an interactive activity, such as yoga, fitness classes or preparing a meal. Activities can boost wellbeing both in the short term, and also provide people with a new leisure activity to enjoy in the long term.
Groups provide opportunities for people to meet each other and develop friendships. By keeping groups in the local area, people are able to use the time to explore their surroundings and visit new places and new routes, such as the local park.
“When initially meeting outside, the feedback was that it was really good having somewhere to go, and have a purpose for the day.”
The Boaz Trust
“It also helped to reduce social isolation, with some women meeting for the first time at the activity. It was really encouraging to hear of women from 2 different Boaz houses meeting, and then making plans to meet the following days to go for a walk in the local area together.”
The Boaz Trust
“It also helped people familiarise themselves more with their local area as, despite it being in a park local to the Boaz houses involved, a couple of the women did not know that park existed.”
