Case Study
A Very Special Experience For Us All
“I wanted to get in touch to say what a wonderful time we had this week at Avon Tyrrell. It was so great to be in such an inclusive and welcoming environment where we didn’t have to worry or apologise for our child. We could feel our shoulders relaxing as we could let go of stresses and enjoy spending time as a family where everyone’s needs were catered for. It’s a rare thing to find an environment where we are all included equally.”
“You don’t feel marginalised in any way”
Take a look at Phab Charity visiting our site for an accessible break where 56 young people, volunteers and parents, joined together for a week of inclusive outdoor activities.
The idea of Phab was born during a National Association of Youth Clubs holiday conference, held in 1957 on site with us! The conference was for young people aged between 15 and 18 and included a young disabled man called Terry Rolfe who asked for “opportunity, not pity for disabled people”, and that they should be given a chance to share in a programme of exciting activities on equal terms with non-disabled people.
