Our Activities

We run two Gateway Clubs – one for adults and one for youngsters. Both aim to provide a safe, enjoyable environment in which members can have fun but also develop their social skills at the same time.

Members range from 5-18 years for Junior Gateway and 18 upwards for the Senior club. They have a broad range of needs including severe and mild Learning Disabilities, Down’s Syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy.

Our Befriender Scheme runs group activities and trips. Its aim is to organise events to help our members enjoy a full social life and reduce the risk of social isolation. More information is given on the Befriender page of this site – just click on the link.

We also have a large Beach Hut located at Old Hunstanton which we make available to our members and to other learning disability organisations and individuals. We make no charge for its use but donations are always welcome. Just click on the Beach Hut page to find out more and to make a booking.

We are always available to give Help and Support to our members. We work closely with local social services departments, with Royal Mencap and with other bodies so if we don’t know we can always find someone who does! In addition we provide Independent Advocacy support if any our members need help in dealing with whole variety of problems including benefits matters, problems with care etc. Just look at the Help & Support page by clicking on the link.
