we are a self-help disabled group whose ages ranges from 18-74 years old. Our aims are: *For us,the disabled,to go out & use the community *To learn lifeskills,build confidence & be as Independant as we can be *To give our families (carers) a 10-12 hours break from caring *To provide volunteers with experience We provide training activities and a social life eg: bowling,day trips,pictures,shows,allotment, training holidays,livestock handling,training classes - art, computer,reading/writing etc

The benefits to the community are: *More Independent and confident disabled people who have more say in their community. *More rest for their families(carers) so they can have a life outside caring so they can care for longer. *Older volunteers have a role in training so gives them a purpose and a social life *Jobless while volunteer can retrain which helps when looking for a job. *Disabled and abled-bodied working together We have an allotment with geese,ducks,chickens which is a big hit.

these are the results and the outcome:- *disabled out into the community *disabled have gone on to collage *disabled have gone on and got a job *disabled have gone on holiday without their families *families(carers) have had breaks from caring and now got a life of their own *families have gone on holiday without caring *Jobless volunteers have gone on to full time jobs *disabled and abled-bodied working together
