Expanding Horizons: Our Journey with Young Adults with Special Needs in Brixton
Our journey with young adults who have learning disabilities & difficulties, and who are physically able, began just over a year ago. Today, we are excited to share this remarkable journey with you and announce a new chapter in our mission.
A Catalyst Named Isaac
Isaac, a young adult with unbridled determination and an infectious enthusiasm, walked through our doors a little over a year ago. What unfolded was nothing short of inspiring. His commitment, resilience, and progress ignited a fire within us, demonstrating the incredible potential within every individual, regardless of their abilities.
He quickly became one of our most dedicated participants, demonstrating growth in every aspect of fitness—stability, balance, strength, and coordination. When Isaac's mother approached us and asked if his friends, who were 18+, making them ineligible for our free youth sessions could join, we embraced the opportunity to create something special. So, we began our journey with a remarkable group of young adults, all aged 18 and above, with learning disabilities and difficulties, and the physical abilities to engage in our sessions.
Partnership with Socialising Angels:
Now, we're excited to share another piece of our journey. We're joining forces with Socialising Angels, a Social Enterprise dedicated to enrich the lives of young adults with learning disabilities by providing opportunities for friendships, social interactions, and personal development. The motivation behind this collaboration is simple: to make our fitness sessions even more spectacular and accessible to more young adults.
Soon, we will open our fitness sessions to more young adults, expanding the reach of both our missions.
The Impact and Members' Role: Unleashing Potential and Independence
Our participants have made remarkable progress in just one year. They've developed not only physical skills but also a strong sense of empowerment. One of our proudest achievements is the role we're playing in helping these young adults gain independence.
This success story wouldn't exist without the incredible members who've stood by us. Through their subscriptions, they've powered our journey, allowing us to deliver these sessions at no cost for participants. Their commitment has been nothing short of inspirational, and we are profoundly grateful for their role in our story.
