Tenant's Information & Stories
Every 3 months I put together some articles from tenants showing where they have been on holiday, who has celebrated birthdays etc.
Here are some stories from the S.T.A.R.T. (Staff Tenants and Relatives Together)
Summer/Autumn 2008 Newsletter:
SPICT Course
At the end of June Andrea Kennedy and I started delivering the course called Supporting people through ICT.
It's about Person Centred Planning and how the computer and IT can help people when making plans for their lives.
We are really enjoying the course and have had great feedback from staff who are also enjoying it.
TPAS Awards
The Tenants Lives Group members went to the Angel Hotel, Cardiff in May and received the first prize in the TPAS Communication in Housing category for the work done on the project called ‘Unkind People and what to do about them’. We all had a good day.
Advocacy Day
A group of 4 service users – Danielle Thomas, China Rothrock, Ann Jones, Phil O’Sullivan and I attended an Advocacy Day at the Village Hotel. We attended 2 workshops. The service users enjoyed the day and learnt about speaking up for themselves.

Some tenants have been working with Peter Russell to produce an audio CD. They did a brilliant job speaking confidently as they were being recorded.

A holiday in Tenby
In April Angela Morgan from Port Tennant spent a holiday weekend in the seaside town of Tenby.
Angela was busy all weekend going to places such as Folly Farm, the Tenby Dinosaur Park and obviously plenty of shopping in Tenby town as well as the beautiful village of Saundersfoot.
There was plenty of nightlife of discos and dancing in the clubhouse of the caravan park.
With the beautiful sea views and sunny weather it was hard not to enjoy our time there.
Jessica Bidmedd and Lara Williams accompanied Angela.
Visit to Folly Farm
On the May Bank Holiday Robert Crimp and Richard Evans from Loughor visited Folly Farm accompanied by Pat and Gail. They all had a great day.
