Principal activities of the company

We continue to offer a broad range of activities to our members across the county, providing a variety of indoor and outdoor sessions to give people as much choice as possible. We offer everything from fun music and craft sessions, developing life skills in our cookery classes, to personal development towards AQA qualifications. At the Red Rose Community Farm members have the opportunity to interact with friends, staff, volunteers and our animals. The objective is to increase the number of members that attend the Tuesday to Friday sessions on a daily basis to a total of 24. Currently the maximum total is 14. The GBDM is working hard to increase our profile both in the community and with social work teams and potential commissioners wherever possible.
