Getting Out There

Getting Out There

We are dedicated to supporting your participation in community activities and outdoor adventures, empowering you to engage more fully with the world around you. Whether it’s joining social events, attending local gatherings, or exploring the outdoors, our goal is to help you overcome any physical challenges that may stand in your way, ensuring that you can enjoy a fulfilling and active lifestyle.

Mobility and Accessibility Support

We assess your mobility needs and help you access the right equipment and strategies for navigating public spaces, parks, beaches and other outdoor environments. This may include recommending mobility aids like wheelchairs, walking frames, walking sticks, offer suggestions on accessible transportation options to ensure you can move freely and comfortably.

Building Confidence and Independence

We understand that stepping out into the community or taking on new adventures can sometimes feel daunting. Our approach is designed to gradually build your confidence through practice and encouragement, helping you develop the skills and resilience needed to participate more independently over time. Our team collaborates with your support network to ensure that everyone involved feels confident and prepared to assist you in getting out and about. We also provide practical advice on how to support you during outdoor activities, from assisting with mobility to managing rest breaks and hydration.

Physical Preparation and Conditioning

Before embarking on community activities or outdoor adventures, we work with you to strengthen your physical abilities through exercises that improve endurance, strength, and balance. This preparation ensures you’re physically ready to take on the challenges of the activities you love while minimising the risk of fatigue or injury.

Ongoing Support and Adaptation

Your interests and capabilities may evolve over time, and so will our support. We offer ongoing guidance and adaptations to your activity plans, ensuring that you continue to enjoy community involvement and outdoor adventures at your own pace and comfort level.
Through building up the capacity of your support network, we aim to create an environment where you can live more independently and comfortably while also relieving some of the burden on those who assist you. This collaborative approach ensures continuity of care, helping you achieve your goals and improve your overall quality of life.
