Dignity Action Day was on 1st February 2015. This year the Art and Crafts Group designed and painting a dignity tree. Each of the green painted hands represents an individual and their identity. The coloured hands were created by the Service Users and Staff members wrote what dignity means to them. Also the cooking group baked and decorated cup-cakes. We celebrated the event with a discussion group whereby everyone was given an opportunity to talk, sign or gesture; what dignity means to them. Afterwards we all enjoyed the delicious cakes with a drink. |
