Apni Kushi (Our Happiness) Group
The Apni Kushi Group is a leisure and recreational group for South Asian adults who have a disability or life limiting or life threatening conditions. Sessions are based at our centre in Smethwick and the members of the group lead and choose the activities they participate in. Sessions are on a Wednesday and this year have included activities such as; playing snooker, games, cooking and baking cakes, pampering sessions, football, dancing, cycling, shopping, card making, picnics, watching films and visits to the Walsall Illuminations and Plantasia. The aim of the group is to support adults with both physical and learning disabilities to access a social group setting, to make friends and to provide an opportunity to learn and experience new activities.

The Saturday Group provides a range of opportunities for South Asian adults who have a disability or life limiting or life threatening conditions from both our centre in Smethwick and in the local community. The group is funded by the Carers Grant from Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council and the aim of the fund is to give carers a short break from their caring responsibilities.
