The Squad meets every week during term time for our two-hour youth club. We offer a choice of at least three activities per night, including a creative, a healthy and a discussion option. Members can do yoga, write a play and work on their CVs, all in one night!
We always have fun at The Squad and no two weeks are the same. We have a real focus on giving young people the chance to not only improve on the things they know and enjoy, but also to try new experiences and go to new places. We believe that by giving young people new opportunities to learn, they can begin to fulfil their true potential.
Every year, we have “The Squad Holiday”! The whole group goes away on a weekend holiday, with the members choosing a venue, as well as taking a central role in planning and fundraising for the trip. In the past this has included activity centres in this country and even a trip to Disneyland Paris.
Our members have a range of disabilities, as well as a wide variety of other needs, covering areas such as social skills, behaviour and health. However we see each of them as an individual: we focus on the person and their capabilities, not their disability. To find out more about learning disabilities go to the Learning Disabilities Rights Commission or Mencap.
