WHO WE ARE
We are a registered charity dedicated to putting smiles on the faces of local families supporting children or young adults who have additional needs. We provide enriching free family leisure activities in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Bristol.
​
Family Leisure time is the best way to relieve social isolation and supports the mental and physical wellbeing of all families. It reduces stress, builds relationships, and provides a much-needed break from the challenges of everyday life.
We believe that everyone deserves to have the opportunity to enjoy leisure activities, and want to ensure that cost is never the reason you can't try something new. That’s why all of our Absolutely Together programmes are free to access for the families we support.
​
If you are a family supporting a child or young adult with additional needs, we encourage you to contact us to learn more about our programs and how you can get involved.
OUR PROGRAMMES
1000's Smiles
Our venues provide dedicated free sessions for families supporting children and young adults with additional needs. Securing peak time availability to ensure you can access facilities at times that work for you.
​
This includes free bowling, inclusive climbing, gym access, foot-golf, disc golf and so much more.
​
We also work with carefully selected local leisure partners, purchasing vouchers for family experiences and distributing them for free, ensuring that we can provide activities that suit all.
Supporting Local SEN Schools
We work with local SEN schools providing free use of our facilities, enriching their extra-curricular programme.
​
We also provide work experience opportunities at each of our venues, supporting young people with additional needs to transition from school into the work place.
Together Karting
By using our specially adapted twin-seat go-karts, driven by our trained staff, we provide children and young adults with additional needs a unique and exciting opportunity to experience the thrill of driving for themselves.
​
Our karts allow drivers as much or as little control as they like meaning all users have a fun experience and leave with a smile on their faces.
