Join us at Stepping Stones

We’re delighted to be launching a new, weekly social group for all adults with learning disabilities over the age of 21. Stepping Stones starts on Wednesday 9th October 10am – 12pm, and has been designed to help build social relationships, develop new skills and meet new friends.

Stepping Stones is the perfect place to connect, create, and move! Each week, we will dive into a new and exciting theme, from expressive art sessions to calming yoga practices, as well as just having coffee, cake and a chat.

But that’s just the beginning! We’re spicing things up with special events like karaoke, hilarious comedy sessions, and even a signing afternoon. Everything will be based on what the members want to do.

Our core program is all about building strong relationships, because we believe that’s the foundation for everything else. And of course, every session includes some physical activity to get you moving. Come and be a part of something special. We can’t wait to see you there!

When is it on?

Every Wednesday, starting on Wednesday 9th October
10 – 12pm
