Story
ILEAP provide community based leisure activities for anyone with additional needs aged 4 years and over. The inclusive leisure activities are chosen by the ILEAP members and take place in the heart of the local community. Leisure activities include things like Day Trips, Weekends Away, Cookery Clubs, Youth Clubs, Music and Dance Sessions, Arts and Crafts Clubs, Social Nights, Pamper Clubs, Lads Club, Bowling, Sports, Cycle Rides, Canal Trips, Bhangra Dancing, African Drumming, Swimming, Cinema Visits, Parties, Country Walks. Taking part helps to build confidence, raise self-esteem, reduces isolation and promotes independence.
This year ILEAP has been forced to adapt very quickly, stopping groups altogether simply wasn’t an option, it was important for us to protect the mental and physical health of all our members. Our sessions quickly moved online to enable our member’s routines to remain as normal as possible and to prevent loneliness.
Usual fundraising events have not been a possibility this year, so we are extremely grateful for your support to enable us to continue to support as many people as possible.
