We are a small charity supporting adults with a physical disability across Oxfordshire. For over 30 years Enrych's core service has been to pair our members (who are all adults with disabilities) with a volunteer partner so that they are able to access leisure and learning activities of their choice.
Why the community needs usOur members tell us that with the support or a volunteer they feel more confident to get involved in their local community and are generally less reliant on our precious NHS resources.
Our impact on the communityHaving Enrych support enhances the life of a person with a disability who is (or is at risk of becoming) isolated and helps them to become/stay integrated into their local community. This support helps prevent the isolation that often comes with a disability and also helps avoid or overcome issues of low esteem, lack of motivation, confidence and depression.
