Our LD/A sessions are aimed to provide opportunities to increase physical activity and exercise but in a fun and supportive way, either through games sessions or by tailored gym support from our team. These sessions have gone from strength to strength and offer a wide range of activities for clients to get involved with; these include:

  • Cycling for all abilities
  • Multi-sport activities
  • Dodgeball
  • Football
  • Dancing
  • Walks around BwD

Supporting these sessions are less about knowledge of the activity but more about a focus on the clients and supporting them to be active in our session. An induction for each session/activity will be completed prior to joining our team.
