Frequently Asked Questions

Our day begins at 09:30, when clients arrive and are welcomed by our staff team. Throughout the day, we offer a variety of structured activities and opportunities to socialise, develop interests and enjoy time with friends.

In between activities, our lunch time is an opportunity to relax and spend time together. Clients can either bring a packed lunch or request a prepared meal from Busydays (see How much does it cost to attend Busydays below for costs)

Our day finishes at 15:00, when clients leave to return home.

Clients should bring a packed lunch unless they have requested a prepared meal from Busydays.
