Description

They are a charity organisation based in Redbridge and our aim is to help improve the quality of life for people with a learning disability and their carers, including those on the autistic spectrum.

True Colours

Truecolours is a project run by a small committee of young people.  The group run a weekly club on a Wednesday for young disabled people aged 14-21 years and supported by young volunteers of the same age.  There is a £1 charge to attend the club. At the club you can take part in many activities such as Wii, Xbox, Music, Art, Air hockey, Beauty including hair styling and nail paintng.  There is a tuck shop if you fancy a snack.  But most importantly is the chance to spend time with other young people in a safe environment.

Bright Ideas

 Bright Ideas is a holiday playscheme for disabled children aged 4-10 years.  It runs throughout the holidays from 10am to 3pm.  It is a specialist scheme and accomodates 8 children per day with a high staff ratio.

Parents/Carer’s Support Group

Are you a Parent/Carer living in Redbridge?

And have a disabled child…

This is a new support group where we will discuss any concerns/ issues or worries that you are facing. You will meet like minded parents who will empathize with your situation and offer peer support.

I hope to run this group once a month, in term time. Also we will be participating in” Fit For Fun” (Women only)

Please phone me on a Wednesday 020 8478 7571 to let me know your availability, and ask for Tahira and i’ll be happy to help : )

Fun for all is an exciting project for the family which organises trips and fun activities for families living in Redbridge with a disabled child aged 4-18 years.  A small charge is made for the activities but it is often a fraction of the full cost. Some of the trips we offer are Theme Parks, London, Ice Skating, Swimming, Zoo & More.
