I will be running the 5K at the running festival to raise money for living it up, this charity is extremely important to me and my family.

The work that we do is primarily for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism but we will accept referrals for most services from people who do not have these diagnoses.

The Performing Arts Centre offers performing arts education - we have several bands, a choir, and a radio station. We also hold an annual theatre show written and directed by our learners, the sound and lighting is operated by learners and the set design is also created by our learners.

Gig Buddies is a befriending service that matches participants with volunteers based on mutual enjoyment of activities. Whatever your “gig” may be. We have gig buddy pairs that go to gigs, festivals, football matches, ice hockey matches, the theatre for example.

Living It Up Events is how the organisation started - these are bi-monthly nightclub or gig style events that are held in a safe environment.

Gr8 Mates is our friendship and dating service.
