This summer we have decided to walk 85 miles in 6 days around the whole of the Norfolk coastline. We are not professional walkers at all but doing this to spend time together, getting back to nature and exploring the beautiful coast. We are also doing this for Bath Gateway Out and About Club. I volunteer here every week supporting adults with learning disabilities by providing them with age appropriate social and leisure activities on a weekly basis. We want everyone to have the opportunity to achieve the things they want out of life.
Our aims are:-
o To provide social events for adults with learning disabilities.
o To encourage social interaction with venue staff and members of the general public.
o Provide a varied programme of activities/events/visits including meals out, bingo, bowling,skittles, picnics, cinema, B-B-Q, pubs, boat trips etc.
o Organise/arrange day trips and occasional holidays during college breaks.
o Involve members in decision making concerning their club.
o To ensure that our members enjoy themselves, expand their life skills, develop friendships, enhance confidence and build self-esteem.
