One of our young men, Mohammed* who has mild-moderate learning difficulties stated in his support plan that he wanted to be more active in the community, to take part in more physical activities and wanted to learn to ride a bike. Our Adults Co-ordinator, Arathi and Mohammed’s worker Steven*, have been working with Mohammed to develop opportunities to make this happen and to meet his support plan.
Mohammed and Steven have recently joined the healthy walks programme, Sandwell Strides, as Mohammed enjoys walking and they also regularly play basketball. Linking in with the Cycling Programme at Sandwell PCT Mohammed has had his first cycling lesson and will now be cycling and having lessons regularly. His aim is to ride around the cycle routes in Sandwell with Steven.
Mohammed has also started attending a gardening club once a week and wants to start travelling around on the bus and metro.
