Our Out & About sessions enable small groups of friends to access the community together in a safe, supported and inclusive way.

Activities include:

• Meals out
• Cinema trips
• Bowling and trampolining
• Walks, picnics and nature outings
• Theatre trips and local events

Members can join with friends or we can carefully match individuals into groups of like-minded people.

It’s a brilliant way to build confidence in real-life settings, develop independence and most importantly—have fun.

Our evening, weekend and school holiday programme offers a wide range of community-based leisure activities.

These sessions:

• Provide a safe, structured and welcoming environment
• Help members build friendships and social skills
• Encourage trying new activities
• Promote confidence, wellbeing and independence

From sports and games to creative sessions and themed activities, there’s something for everyone.

All sessions can be viewed and booked via our website, making it easy to plan ahead.

We understand that organising inclusive birthday parties can sometimes be challenging.

ILEAP offers tailored birthday celebrations within our programme, creating a fun, safe and inclusive environment where everyone can feel part of the celebration.

We’ll help make it a truly special day — just give us plenty of notice, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Voices 4 Choices (V4C) is a unique, user-led approach developed by our members.

It enables small groups of friends to choose and access the activities they want to do together, supported by ILEAP staff.

Typically:

• 2 staff support up to 6 members
• Activities are chosen by the group
• Sessions are flexible and tailored

This model is empowering, social and cost-effective, offering a great alternative to 1:1 support.

For those who prefer more personalised support, we offer 1:1 sessions tailored around each individual.

Our 1:1 support can focus on:

• Building confidence and independence
• Accessing leisure activities
• Developing education and life skills
• Volunteering and preparing for work

We carefully match each member with a Support Friend or Peer Mentor, working together to set personalised goals and achieve meaningful outcomes.

Types of support include:

• Out & About 1:1 — personalised support to access the community
• 1:1 with a Purpose — volunteering and skill-building opportunities
• Specialist 1:1 — creative, sports or activity-based sessions
• Education-focused sessions — alternative learning experiences

A key benefit is flexibility — support is shaped around what works best for the individual.

Our Multi Activity sessions run during the day and offer a vibrant, supportive environment where members can learn new skills, build confidence and enjoy purposeful activity.

Sessions include a mix of:

• Arts and crafts
• Cooking and baking
• Gardening
• Life skills
• Social activities
• Specialist sessions such as African drumming, Bhangra dancing, and adapted sports and games

Everything is user-led and flexible, allowing members to develop at their own pace while being part of a friendly and supportive group.
