No, you don’t have to live in Wolverhampton to participate in our activities. While the majority of our members reside in Wolverhampton and its surrounding areas, we welcome anyone willing to travel to our activities. However, it’s important to note that occasionally, due to funding restrictions, we might have to limit certain activities to members from a specific area. But this is not the norm.

There is no age limit to join our organization. We currently have members ranging from 2 to 32 years old. We believe that everyone, regardless of their age, should have the opportunity to participate in fun and engaging activities.

No, our activities are designed as “stay and play” sessions, where parents or carers are responsible for the well-being and safety of the young people they bring at all times. However, we do allow members to attend activities with their Personal Assistant, paid carer, or any other responsible adult.

Unfortunately, we do not provide transportation to our regular activities. Members are expected to make their own arrangements for transportation. The only exception is when we organize coach trips. In such cases, an accessible coach will depart from and return to a designated pick-up point. Please note that we do not provide transportation to the pick-up point.
