The picnic
group developed from ideas generated at a LIVE
client group meeting. Picnics are held
on Sunday's on a
monthly basis. During the hotter months they are held in the
evenings. Picnic venues
are suggested by people with a disability or volunteers and are assessed for
disability access by LIVE staff.
The picnic
group provides a chance for people who are isolated to get out and socialise and
it is also a great chance for new volunteers to meet other volunteers and
observe supportive interactions. The picnic
group has
become an important part of the induction process for volunteers who are joining
the LIVE project.
Venues include the Botanic Gardens, Semaphore,
Carisbrooke Park, Enfield and Hillcrest community centre's and more.
