(UK, 1119570) Browse eventsCan you Imagine a life without friends or family? Here at Building Circles in Gloucestershire, we know that there are lots of adults with Learning Disabilities living in the community who have few or no friends or family to visit them. Problems with health, mobility or communication can make people feel even more isolated and unable to go out and live the fulfilling life that we all deserve to live. Building Circles in Gloucestershire recruit, train and support volunteers to create friendships with isolated adults with a learning disability. Our volunteers are very special people who are friendly, patient and willing to listen. With a Building Circles volunteer, people are able to go and do the things that most of us take for granted such as going to a cafe for lunch, watching a new film at the cinema, taking a walk in the country, or visting new places. We also hold regular social events and get everybody together for fun, laughter, and entertainment, our popular events such as our Xmas Party attracts over 120 people. We also hold specialist events for our focus people with severe needs (a group which so often get overlooked in life), and our younger focus people (aged 18-25). In addition we also offer training to people with learning disabilities, employ an admin assistant with a learning disability and are about to launch a new transitions project giving young people access to work experience and life skills. Our organisation is completely not for profit and we survive on grants from other organisations and donations from kind people like you to survive! We believe everybody should be able to live as a valued member of the community and experience friendship, please help us to reach out to as many people as we can. Thank you from all of the Building Circles Team

(UK, 1133405) Browse eventsSNAPS is an independent, Leeds based, registered charity founded in 2004 and run by parents of children with special needs, disabilities and life limiting illnesses. Families of children with special needs with one or more complex health condition face significant barriers to mainstream leisure, social and employment opportunities. SNAPS address this by providing non judgmental “whole family” based support and currently reach more than 350 families from across the Yorkshire Region. SNAPS gives each and every child, their parents and carers, unconditional friendship and is dedicated to realising the full potential of each and every family affected by disability. Many of Snaps families with children have life limiting and complex disabilities, many sadly do not live past their 10th year, therefore every day is precious. Snaps is unique in that it allows any family with a disability to benefit from its services without the requirement of a completed disability assessment as this can take years and can involve more than 100 professionals. This can mean that parents are unable to seek any statutory support, even if this were available. Through taking part in “whole family” centred activities, we challenge and reduce social exclusion, by working in collaboration with current and fledgling community groups, immobilising and sharing community support aimed at improving health, fitness and social inclusion of families of children with disabilities, special needs, and complex life limiting health conditions. Every penny raised for SNAPS is gratefully received and frugally spent running practical services, directly benefiting Yorkshire families. Snaps is largely staffed by an army of volunteers and parents who give their time generously to provide vital services.Funding is crucial to enable us to continue our service and meet the needs of a long waiting list of more than 100 parents, desperately seeking to access our life changing service. We are truly grateful for support.
