    Situation

    Isolation and exclusion are regular occurrences for disabled children, young people and their families. Many disabled children do not have the same social and leisure opportunities as their non-disabled peers due to a plethora of physical, social and attitudinal barriers. Mainstream play and leisure providers deny disabled children the same opportunities to play, socialise and make friends, resulting in a group of children and young people that have to fight for their right to be included.

    Solution

    Challengers provide fully inclusive play and leisure opportunities at our Pre-schools, Play and Youth schemes that enable disabled children and young people to have fun without barriers. Our highly trained staff offer 1:1 and 2:1 support to anyone that needs it to ensure no one is excluded at Challengers. At the same time, families can access respite from their care responsibilities whilst safe in the knowledge their child is in a place where they are cared for and supported.
