Sam’s Story

Sam’s Story

Sam has been joining Time Out Group activities since the start of the year. He has grown as an individual and is more comfortable participating with group activities. This year we did an extreme easter egg hunt and he joined in, helped his team, cheered them on when they completed a challenge and then had a chill out with other members.

After the session he came over to one of the staff members and held her hand, to say he had ‘Had a wonderful surprise and enjoyed the day, thank you’. His smile was really big. This is a big growth in Sam’s confidence and ability to express himself and share how he is feeling. He is very limited in what he says so this was a special moment.

If someone asked me to do what i did (attending a networking fair – speaking to other businesses about Time Out) 2 years ago, there would have been no chance of me doing it. Time out has made me more confident than ever before…

I love being at Time Out
I have really felt at home and made some good friends
I have struggled with my behaviour sometimes but I relax now and am always learning and having fun. Staff and members are so supportive and so lovely. There is no need to be scared.

The Drama group is something to look forward to each week. Now I have found out they do it In Sandbach and Handforth.

Drama is relaxed and chilled out, we always have a great time. You don’t have to be good at acting, it is for all abilities.

Toni makes us laugh so much

I didn’t realise how much work went in to acting and things like making adverts. We have learnt about how you can warm up your voice and speak with confidence.

Nobody judges, it is a welcoming atmosphere.

It is a relaxed atmosphere and you can go at your own pace.
