Activities

'the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended','the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'

The charity raises awareness of issues that are important to them and members of the learning disability community such as isolation, bullying and lack of opportunities to be involved in activities that are enjoyed by others in the mainstream community. We raise our views and concerns with statutory bodies and other voluntary groups at various events throughout the year. We are involved in partnership working with DRC Generations and our members interact and socialise with the young people and their families that use their services, we take part in family day trips with them in which we meet with their family members of all ages and cultures and friendships and understanding have developed on both sides. One of the benefits to our members because of this interaction has been a significant increase in their confidence and self esteem, the benefits achieved by the young people and their family members is a greater knowledge of learning disability and of course new friendships
