Fun Café Questionnaire Findings
The most popular healthy activities at the Fun Café were cycling, dancing, cookery and time in the chill out zone
The activities people most want to do are making friends, going out for meals, holidays and to the pub
Most people did not mind whether they went out in the day or evening
Over half the people wanted to do activities with a group of friends
34 out of 54 people said they would go out more if they went out with friends
The most common reason for not going out was not having support or a friend to go out with
Some people said that an issue relating to their disability, health or mobility stopped them from going out more
Some people said money or being in control of their money prevented them from going out
A few people said they do not know how to find out what to do in their community
