Inverurie DAYS

Inverurie DAYS (day activities with support) provides a service to adults with a learning disability in Inverurie and the surrounding area.

Locations

We have two building-based locations:

  • Inverurie Day Centre
  • Pitscurry

Inverurie Day Centre

Inverurie Day Centre is based in the centre of Inverurie. We provide a variety of groups and activities in the centre, such as:

  • cooking
  • arts and crafts
  • stretch and relax
  • exercises to music
  • games
  • sensory sessions

We can also support people with agreed health programmes, for example physio exercises.

In the centre we have a multi-sensory room, which is fitted with a tracking hoist to make it easy to transfer people out of wheelchairs. There are various forms of lighting which allow us to transform the room into a relaxed space specific to the needs of the people using it.

We also offer groups in community locations, such as:

  • swimming
  • sports
  • gymnastics
  • dance
  • horse riding
  • ten-pin bowling
  • social networking with other community groups

Our address is Inverurie Day Centre, Port Road, Inverurie, AB51 3SP.

Pitscurry

Pitscurry is a rural 7 acre site where we offer mainly outdoor activities. We focus on gardening and woodwork, encouraging activities which are environmentally friendly.

Gardening tasks include:

  • sowing, planting, maintaining, and harvesting produce
  • planting hanging baskets for Inverurie town centre
  • mowing grass, weeding, and general maintenance of the grounds

Produce grown on site is used in the Buzzard Café. Any excess produce is sold on site to the public.

Woodwork tasks include:

  • making small items to sell on site
  • maintaining or renewing wooden items, such as raised vegetable beds
  • chopping and bagging wood for kindling

We have a sensory cabin on site, this is used as a space to relax in. It is equipped with sensory lighting, mats, and soft chairs. The space can also be used for music therapy. It is equipped with a sound beam, which helps people with profound physical disabilities to be expressive and communicate through different types of music and sounds. The cabin also has a drum kit, keyboard, microphone, and various small musical instruments.

Our address is Pitscurry Project, Whiteford, Pitcaple, Inverurie, AB51 5DY.
