Get Involved with Activities 115!
As a charity, we believe that all lives are enriched with a variety of activities. We want to create a world where disability is overcome by positive activity. With appropriate adaptation and creativity all sports, arts and entertainment can be available to all.
We provide funding to individuals and groups to allow people with learning difficulties to partake in activities available to all in the community.
Could you run an activity or course?
Do you have a unique skill or talent that you would like to share by running an activity? Perhaps you are a local business or organisation that already runs activities and would like to open this up to people with a learning disability? We would love to expand our range of activities we sponsor and would always welcome new ideas.
As an activity leader, it would be preferable if you had experience working with adults with a learning disability, difficulty or autism, however this isn’t an essential requirement. What we do ask, is that you are appropriately insured and that you must undertake a risk assessment.
Do you want to become a volunteer?
Being a volunteer for Activities 115 is an incredible way to make a positive change to an individual’s life. Volunteering can give you an amazing sense of fulfillment and appreciation for the things you may take for granted in your own life. If you are interested in volunteering we can put you in contact with activity organisers we are sponsoring (see our newsletter) to see if they are in need of volunteers. As long as you are willing to get stuck in and really contribute to improving the lives of others, please get in touch.
Do you want to become a partner?
We are always open to new partnerships within the local or wider community and would be very appreciative of your support for our charity. If your business shares the same values as us and would like to sponsor (or co-sponsor) an event or activity, we would love to hear from you.
