Our teams at the Intermediate Care Unit at Brackenbed View Halifax have been laying on bingo with bumper prizes twice a week.

 They have piloted activities session with  around 10  intermediate care patients to promote  well being, inclusion and  cross boundary working.

The activity was card bingo with all the prizes were donated by Home Bargains in Pellon Lane,  Halifax so a big shout to them. Following meetings with the Manager, Home Bargains agreed to donate any end of line stock to use as the prizes.

Caroline Sellers, the Community Response Team Occupational Therapist, said: " The patients had a great afternoon as the attached pictures show, and are keen to keep the sessions going. We would welcome any donations as prizes."

The sessions initially will run on a Tuesday afternoon and a Thursday afternoon, the group times are protected, to encourage sustainability of these activities.
