My mum is disabled and doesn't get out much, I suggested a college course, something like flower arranging or cake decorating, she needs something where she can sit down but she can use her hands but not really fiddly things.
She isnt interested in anything computer or accademic.
Also is there a website i can find some local courses on as our local college doesnt do anything suitable.
We live in worksop.

Most colleges and universities have a ' special needs' department and they can probably advise you what general interest course would be appropriate and available.

Check local colleges/universities for "Continuing Education" programs--most have them. They are usually 6-8 session courses in practically anything--hobbies, crafts, academic, technical skills, you name it. most are inexpensive (usually under $100 unless its really involved.

Look for classes offered by local colleges, recreation centers, YWCA, women's groups, garden centers, craft stores- lots of places to take classes like that.
