๐ฆ Big Garden Birdwatch the perfect sensory opportunity ๐ฆ
๐ซด At In Caring Hands (ICH) here in Wells, Somerset, we use natureโbased activities to support the well-being, communication, and emotional regulation of the young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) that we care for.
โ๏ธ The RSPBโs Big Garden Birdwatch runs from the 26th to the 28th of January this year, and itโs the perfect opportunity to slow down, look up, and enjoy the simple joys of nature. For young people with PMLD, sensory experiences like birdsong, movement, colour, and fresh air can be deeply calming and enriching.
๐ฆ This week, we'll be including fun activities in our schedule such as birdwatching through the window or venturing outside on brighter days to listen to bird song, putting out food on the bird table, or exploring other textures and sounds we discover outdoors.
๐ If youโre a compassionate, dedicated, motivated, thoughtful, UKโbased carer and youโre looking to make a real difference to the lives of those you care for, weโd love to hear from you. Find out more about us and our open vacancies here: https://in-caring-hands.co.uk
