We provide positive activities for young people and young adults, aged 9-25, with social communication difficulties such as autism and ADHD, through a planned series of outdoor activity breaks tailored to their individual needs.

Breaks may be: short 1:1 sessions locally with one of our Project Workers; small group evening activities; half day activities during the Easter holidays; full day activities during the summer holidays; an activity day or an overnight stay as part of one of our weekend camps; a full weekend camp or a 5 day camp.

We also run activities just for over 18’s: monthly evening activities, the occasional full day activity, a Friday morning group and a fortnightly mountain biking group. Plus one or 2 residential camps/year for the over 18’s.

On activities the young people and adults are accompanied and supported by our staff and team of carefully selected and trained volunteers.

Many activities we run ourselves, such as biking (learn to ride, foundation trail biking and mountain biking), canoeing, kayaking, archery, team challenges, bushcraft, walking, indoor and outdoor climbing, and new for 2026 we will be starting to run some paddleboarding sessions. We also sometimes use other activity providers to run those activities that we are not yet able to run ourselves, such as coasteering, gorge walking, sailing, skiing and snowboarding.

We also deliver the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme for some of our young people/adults.

Are you looking for opportunities for your son or daughter to try new activities, develop their social interaction skills, make new friends and have fun?
