OUR SERVICES

ILEAP Community Leisure

ILEAP Group Activity Sessions

Every evening, weekend and school holiday we put together a programme of community based leisure activities, based on old favourites and new suggestions.  
These sessions provide a safe and structured environment where members can meet up with friends old and new, have fun and try new things. 
The sessions help to build confidence, raise self-esteem and promote independence. 
They are great fun and improve social skills, health and holistic wellbeing. 
Forthcoming sessions can be found on our website under Activities, choose an Activity and pre- book and pay via the website. Let us know if you need any further info about any of the sessions.

Personalised Birthday Parties

Over the years we have been told that Birthday Parties have often proved difficult to organise and that for some members, Birthday Party invites from peers, are few and far between. ILEAP love a party and we can easily incorporate Birthday Parties into our Group Programme. All we ask for is plenty of notice and a donation towards our work. We will then take care of everything making the session extra special for your V.I.P

ILEAP Voices 4 Choices

Voices 4 Choices (V4C) is a concept that came from one of our members. It empowers small groups of ILEAP friends to access their chosen leisure pursuits together in a safe and supported way. Usually 2 ILEAP staff assist up to 6 ILEAP members to do things together. Examples include trips to the cinema, swimming, day trips, Pop Concerts, Sporting Events. 
Small groups of friends doing things together is more fun and is a lot cheaper than 1:1 support. smore.com/gm2ah

1:1 Assistance

We understand that our Group Activities may not be for everyone. ILEAP can link members with their own 1:1 Support Friend / Peer Mentor who can assist and promote independence as and when requested.

Hi I’m Moya. 
I have volunteered with ILEAP for about 5 years now. I enjoy spending time with the ILEAP members swimming, keep fit,cooking and baking, singing, and helping out on stalls. The ILEAP members are an inspiration and I am proud to be part of the positive things ILEAP does. Recently I have supported the members and ILEAP staff doing zoom sessions which has helped us keep in touch.

The Sunday swim has long become part of my weekend routine. It has allowed me to meet a lot of like-minded people who have enjoyed sharing in running the swimming sessions. Our present group of helpers have got on easily and well for several years now. Many of the disabled members and their families who come get to be good friends as you get to know them, and sometimes they prove to have unexpected hidden talents. It has been a pleasure to have been part of the group for so long.

Since moving to Leamington Spa and finding my ‘forever’ home I wanted to be part of the local community. I previously worked with Special needs in Nigeria and Indonesia and loved it. ILEAP is a fantastic charity and being able to give my time fortnightly reading stories and poems to the clients is so fulfilling. My background as a Voice Coach gave me the skills when delivering the stories & poems. During lockdown I have provided stories on Sheldon the Shy Shark and other characters for the Charity to distribute to everyone, which I have loved doing. ILEAP will benefit as one of my charities when I become Ladies Captain at Leamington & County Golf Club for a year in March 2020. I am looking forward to being able to meet everyone face to face when it is safe to do so

The reasons I volunteer – “I really enjoy helping with the Sunday swimming sessions. I think I get as much, if not more, from the sessions than the people who attend  – many of whom have become good friends over the months and years. As well as seeing and joining in the fun they get from our sessions, it’s great to see how many of them have progressed. Some started as non swimmers and have gone on to swim a few yards, then a width and on to a full length. “But it’s also fantastic to see the real spirit, character and determination that everyone demonstrates – but above all it’s great fun for all of us. It still amazes me that with all of the many difficulties that many of the members obviously have, they never moan or complain and are always asking if you have had a good week. Gives a new perspective on life!”

This has been my first time volunteering and it's been so enjoyable and rewarding. I’ve enjoyed spending time with ILEAP members at the Saturday morning group and now the quiz nights, both groups have been great fun and perfect for anyone who enjoys spending time with people. The support staff and members are lovely and welcoming and are always there to help or answer questions. I’d highly recommend ILEAP to anyone!

What our Customers say

Pedro Prank

A wonderful service that has been amazing over many years. Lets hope this continues to be available and well supported. A great selection of activities.

Pedro Prank

ILEAP is always excellent! The Staff work hard making sure everyone has a GREAT time. ILEAP provides my Son with a social life. He can be like everyone else. A caring, safe, fun environment! We cannot thank you enough!!

Pedro Prank

Thanks as always for all of your hard work and also to the ILEAP workers and volunteers. You are all an amazing support and a day never goes by when we don't forget not only what you do for our Son but how much it's helped us a family.

Pedro Prank

My son has a social life thanks to ILEAP. He has grown in confidence and self esteem. When he is at an ILEAP activity we can relax we know he is in safe hands. We can never say thank you enough to this wonderful organisation

Pedro Prank

Our Daughter loves ILEAP so much and has got so much out of it over the years. We, as a family, are so very grateful to ILEAP - I honestly don’t know how we would have got through the holidays without it!

Pedro Prank

ILEAP is simply a life-line for our family. It is one of the few social activities our Son can do outside school. The regular sessions and periodic new activities added help to challenge him in a way he is comfortable with, giving him a chance to experience new things and allowing the rest of the family time to catch our breath. What would we do without ILEAP

Pedro Prank

Just wanted to say that ILEAP has made a massive difference to our Daughters life, giving her confidence in social activities and such a wide variety of choices to enhance that confidence. It has also been a blessing to us as parents, as we know that she is safe and enjoying herself with friends, with caring thoughtful staff. As a much-forgotten about minority, people with learning disabilities need somewhere to go where they can have fun and meet up with others, and ILEAP provides those opportunities for her.

Pedro Prank

We have always thought ILEAP was brilliant. Our Son has been coming since he was 8 years old and he is now 21!! He loves being with Staff and he has made many new friends. The sports and trips are excellent, well run and help him to enjoy a full social life in a safe environment. The ILEAP Lets Go Club is brilliant for older members!! Thank you so much.

Pedro Prank

Our Son has enjoyed the activities greatly on his return from College. The sessions are well organised, staffed and great fun. All the young people’s needs are excellently supported and they are in an environment to help them to develop and make friends.

Pedro Prank

We feel that ILEAP are fantastic at not only supporting our youngsters socially but providing them with a good education regarding improved health and it is certainly clear that the young people are able to demonstrate a good knowledge about this matter.
