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

 

We access the community in an extremely inclusive way; encouraging individuals 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!

 

Mountain climbing

Music gigs

Cooking courses

Sponsored runs

Archery

Mini Golf

Gaming club

Football training

Volunteering work

Bike rides

Photography

Go-Karting

To name just 12....

 

 

aebal Leisure sessions often provide a much-needed outlet outside of colleges and day services.

 

We provide short, activity focussed sessions, typically around 2hrs – 3hrs. 

 

Many of these sessions are delivered in the evenings and at weekends which is when individuals can often feel the most isolated. We all need interests and activities outside of our working hours which is why the service really works.

We always encourage people to travel independently to an activity venue whenever possible to promote independence and maximise activity time, however car transportation can be provided when needed at no extra cost.

 

We are happy to collect people from home in order for them to participate in an aebal session with a friend who may live in a different area of Nottingham. In fact, a lot of friendships have been formed through session commutes. We’ve found that being stuck in traffic often provides a great environment for chatting, singing and debates on whether it’s now acceptable to be a Justin Bieber fan!
