We are raising funds to boost physical and mental health amongst adults with learning disabilities and autism. The 'Ways to Wellness' programme will provide activities, tools and training to enable our community to take control of and manage their own wellbeing - key as we emerge from lockdown.

    Situation

    People with learning disabilities and autism face many challenges to their physical wellbeing and mental health, and these have been accentuated by the effect of lockdown. Changing routines overnight has taken a big toll despite phenomenal creativity from staff. For the 250 people we support in Oxfordshire, tools to encourage engagement in physical activity and manage mental health are key to rebuilding health and resilience. Without funding, we would be unable to provide these.

    Solution

    Our ‘Ways to Wellness’ programme will bring together our community and provide inspiration, support, and motivation to boost physical wellbeing and mental health. We will create community wide activities – virtual and in person – so people we support with learning disabilities and autism can achieve individual health and wellbeing goals, supported by staff and the wider community. Bespoke activities will include gardening, healthy eating, exercise, arts, music and fostering friendships.
