She engages in positive activities at Welcome House and local VCSE organisations, aiming to boost confidence, social skills and connections for rebuilding lives and building trustworthy relationships. 

Ayosola holds thrice-weekly sessions at Welcome House, organising health-focused outdoor gatherings.
