Digital Activity and Rehabilitation Centre Timetable

Digital Activity and Rehabilitation Centre Timetable

For the foreseeable future, we will replace our typical face­-to-face services with a range of new digital ones, including the provision of a specialist telephone information, advice and guidance line and a range of online interactive activities through our digital forum. The aim is to give people the very best tailored advice, reduce social isolation and maintain a focus on positive activities.

As part of this, we have launched a series of online interactive classes and activities which replicate our services usually on offer at the Activity and Rehabilitation Centre. These include classes on seated exercise, baking, artwork therapy and yoga – all designed to keep the body and mind engaged and active during self-isolation.

If you use our services and would like to join in the online Zoom activities, please send us your email addresses so that we can share the Zoom links.

The Great Oxford Head Injury Services Bake Off

Whilst we’re in this period of isolation, why not try out a new skill, or re-learn a old skill?

There are many benefits of baking following a brain injury – improved memory, maintained focus and an overall increase in well-being.

Plus, you now have something tasty to eat…

We’re launching a new series, ‘Baking with Julie’, in the hope that you’ll join in and show us what you’ve made.

In this first episode, Julie will be sharing how to bake a lemon cake… YUM!

Send in pictures and video of your bakes to events@headway-oxford.org.uk. We look forward to seeing them!
