NAPA Benefit Dinner – 24th September 2019

On 24th September OM Interactive were delighted to sponsor the NAPA Drinks Reception at Birmingham Metropole hotel to honour the legacy of Sylvie Silver, who has spent her career championing the use of arts, crafts, music and creativity in care homes and day centres nationally.

Our team enjoyed catching up with colleagues from Sunrise Senior Living, Hallmark Care and NAPA Year of the Arts award winners, Fir Villa (a care home with highly creative staff who own one of our Mobii systems). The dinner was followed with a poignant speech by Des Kelly OBE and emotional words from Sylvie herself. We were formally introduced to Hilary Woodhead who has stepped into Sylvie’s little (but difficult to fill!) shoes at NAPA and the evening ended with a richly deserved standing ovation.

As recognised NAPA suppliers we are proud to carry their logo, recognising the incredible effort of Activity Coordinators and staff all over the country who dedicate so much time to improving quality of life every day for those in their care. We wish Sylvie a happy retirement and Hilary every success in her new role.

BBC1 – OMi Ambassador Noah on #DIYSOS 20th Anniversary

On 6th September 2019 we were delighted to see our very own Ambassador, Noah Wall, back on our screens as part of the DIYSOS 20th Anniversary Special on BBC1.

The programme celebrated the amazing impact the DIYSOS home make-over has had on the Wall family in the five years since it was filmed, particularly the incredible advances Noah has made, due in part to the specialist equipment he was gifted.  Born with spina bifida and only 2% brain Noah was not expected to survive birth let alone develop into the bright capable boy we know and love today.

Embracing Interactive Technology at Andrew Smith House

Recently Stocks Hall Andrew Smith House welcomed OM Interactive who came to demonstrate their motion-activated projection system.

The ground-breaking Mobii system is the first truly mobile motion-activated table-projection system that can easily be moved to those who need it. It can be adjusted to a different height/size surface at the touch of a button making it an invaluable flexible intervention in all care settings.

Here’s Leslie Ann, who lives at Andrew Smith House, photographed here with her husband Barney using the OM Interactive table together.  They thoroughly enjoyed the demonstration, discovering meaningful activities to enjoy together.  Leslie Ann was fascinated with the coral reef and took on the challenge of the cake making exercise.
