Situation
People with learning disabilities (our clients) are one of the most ‘easy-to-ignore’ groups in society & are currently at higher risk than ever of loneliness & poor physical & emotional wellbeing due to the pandemic. Problems include low self-confidence, low self-esteem, phobias & increased social anxiety. Many rely on low incomes or live in areas with poor public transport & have limited opportunity for beneficial social & leisure experiences, including exploring Nottinghamshire & beyond.
Solution
Our experienced staff will plan & offer low-cost supported holidays & leisure activities to people with learning disabilities in Nottinghamshire providing opportunity to improve self-esteem, build confidence & increase independence. Being away from home in a safe environment surrounded by expert staff who are known to them enables people to feel more confident to try new activities & broaden their horizons. Our staff are trained to provide bespoke support to meet individual needs & aspirations.
