( For Anybody’s Body)
Tushie has been running and facilitating dance and music sessions in Somerset for 12 years after training under a professional dancer. She has established dance and music sessions within many day services in the Taunton area, which still continue to run.
Tushie is now running a drop in session for anybodys body (F.A.B) every Wednesday.
Passionate about creating a safe space for individuals of all abilities to explore, create and if desired to perform.
These sessions are person centred, fully inclusive and designed to encourage the individual to experience the magic of music and movement, its ability to build confidence, improve mental and physical wellbeing and create happiness in our bodies and in our lives.
The pop up cauldron is a cooking based project run by Achieve, focusing on life skills and training. Each week we work as a team to develop recipes with hygiene, safety and personal development in mind. We focus on quality home cooked foods that can be reproduced easily at home. For those that want to, the project stretches out to community events where members of the pop up cauldron crew work together to prepare and serve food to supporters of the project, raising money for training and further development.
F.A.B Dance
This is something Kye and Tushie feel is a vital service for everyone they support. Our life skills day is based around things such as basic budgeting/money management, health and hygiene, safeguarding concerns, road safety skills and support with becoming confident using public transport, to promote independence within the local community. Training in skills such as first aid, manual handling and food hygiene are supported and funded though "The pop up cauldron" events. We are always open to new ideas and suggestions and will always try to help with any problems or concerns brought to us.
All our Sessions are open to people in Taunton and surrounding areas.
Limited transport is available from the Bridgwater, Taunton and Wellington areas and we encourage and support public transport where possible.
