Gateway Wheelers intend to run 3 cycling sessions each day, three days a week for up to 6 people with learning disabilities in each session. Gateway Wheelers have 45 bicycles adapted for a range of individual needs and a small experienced staff team with trained volunteers. During covid all sessions were suspended and this is a big opportunity to restart sessions as the roadmap out of lockdown allows. Each individual receives a covid safe briefing, they are matched to the right bicycle for them and given whatever support they need to begin their session. The sessions are also great for whole families with often family members/carers joining in with the activities as well. We intend to deliver over a four month period from July to October 2021.

If you would like to get active in a supportive and encouraging environment and would like to meet like minded people why not come and play football!

The Every Player Counts football session is based at Robin Park arena. The session provides free football activity to improve physical mental and social well-being. The session provides a platform for adults with disabilities to enjoy football and socialize as part of a group. The session will offer the opportunity to take part in competitive matches on a weekly basis under specialized provision.

Boccia is a ball game specifically designed to be played by people who are disabled. It is played on a court of a similar size to one that is used for badminton. It can be played as individuals, pairs or in teams of three. Each person or team throws 6 balls which are either red or blue at a white jack ball in a similar fashion to bowls or boules with the team with the most accumulated points at the end of the match being the winner. The balls are about the size of a baseball but are softer in composition. At the highest level the game resembles chess with balls and is a Paralympic sport. Paul’s Place have teams in the Super League, which is the equivalent to the Premiership in Football as well as many of the people we support just playing for fun. Boccia England have recently issued guidance to allow Boccia to recommence as we ease out of the latest Covid-19 lockdown and we are excited to resume this sport and would welcome new members to our weekly sessions. Please do get in touch for more information.

At Talkback we are passionate about providing sports and activity that is inclusive and adapted for people with a learning disability and people with autism. We want people to be laughing and engaging with others, enjoying what they are doing and not viewing physical activity as a chore. We never assume anything about people's abilities and and always listen to what our members have to say. Following the pandemic, we want to re-inspire and re-motivate our members to move more. We see this as more important now than ever before, after a period of, in some cases, quite extreme isolation and anxiety. We are eager to get our people back not only to exercising face to face, but to socialising and having fun with each other.
We provide sporting opportunities such as multi-sports, games-based badminton skills and dance projects, which allow people to return to team sports in small groups and that follow the guidance on keeping safe.

We are bringing our specialist inclusive disability Pop-Up sessions to our communities in a summer roadshow in 5 locations across Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare and Newport. In each location a selection of the following play options will be available: soft play, gym, activity areas, swings, floor equipment, music room, calm and interactive sensory rooms. The sessions have many beneficial advantages for play and exercise for children and young people with disabilities. Our specially trained disability staff and therapists are there for support but the emphasis is on families having fun together. There will also be a social café where you can meet other families. This is also an opportunity to try out equipment available to hire from our free lending library.

We offer four types of session, butterflies, gorillas, jungle and leopards. Each session is 90 minutes. Every session type has two age groups to choose from 0-11 years and 11-25 years. Our butterflies sessions are two hours long to give the extra time needed for possible hoisting, medical needs, and toileting. Watch the short videos to decide which session type is most suitable. We appreciate you know best, so please choose your session with care and bring the appropriate amount of support on the day to ensure everyone is safe and enjoys the facilities. https://www.gympanzees.org
