We understand that people who are in need of support, don't want to feel like they are being looked after or that the only reason for us being there is to achieve a set outcome documented in a care plan.

 

If someone is struggling with depression or confidence around their disability, they firstly need some meaningful support and mentoring to help them feel good about who they are and positive about the future.

Once we have built up a trusting relationship and found a suitable activity for the person, independence related outcomes occur naturally.

 

For example, joining an archery club on a Friday evening involves catching a bus, saving money for the activity, organising yourself to get there on time, perhaps preparing some food to take. These things all happen as a normal consequence of starting a new hobby.

 

The missing ingredient was the confidence, self-belief and motivation to participate in this new hobby, which is where our support comes in!

 

We spend time getting to know each person; learning about their interests and aspirations. This enables us to be really creative with the activities and the support we provide.

 

aebal access the community in an extremely inclusive way; encouraging people to choose their activities and plan their own sessions. We will get involved in the activity ourselves or discretely support people to participate independently.

 

The activity list is endless and always growing!
