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.
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing suitable for the day's activities. If we have a planned trip or outdoor activity, we'll let everyone know in advance if any additional clothing or items are needed.
Busydays does not provide transport to or from our centre. Clients, their families, social workers or other supporting professionals are responsible for making the necessary transport arrangements.
Our daily attendance fee is £60 per day.
This includes all drinks, snacks, activities and days out, meaning there are no additional charges for taking part in our usual programme of activities.
Prepared meals are available at an additional cost of £3.50.
Yes! Clients can choose which days of the week they'd like to attend Busydays, as well as how many days they'd like to come.
We do ask that agreed attendance days remain consistent each week. (For example, if someone agrees to attend on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, these would become their regular attendance days.)
We recognise that everyone has different abilities, interests and support needs. Our staff team takes the time to get to know each individual and provide support that reflects their personal circumstances.
We aim to encourage independence, promote choice and ensure everyone feels comfortable, included and able to make the most of their time at Busydays.
Yes we do! We hold regular discos and cinema clubs on Tuesday evenings for both clients of Busydays and the wider community.
All information can be found on our Disco & Cinema Club page.
If a client is unable to attend Busydays for any reason, please contact us to let us know.
Our terms and conditions require 28 days' notice for any absence. Where this notice is not provided, the usual daily attendance charge remains payable.
Absolutely. Our management team is always happy to speak with clients, families and supporting professionals about any questions, concerns or matters relating to our service.
