The Adventure Service provides short breaks for adults with learning disabilities and additional support needs. These Adult Short Breaks take place in the beautiful surroundings of the Peak District National Park.
Want To Know What We Actually Get Up To?
What We Offer:
Throughout the year we have numerous short break weekends across the Peak District, each offering a unique and enriching experience.
Our weekend breaks run from Friday evening to Sunday evening, with convenient transport available from all three of our centres.
Accommodation is provided in comfortable dormitory-style settings, where everyone is encouraged to contribute to daily tasks such as food preparation and cleaning. This not only fosters a sense of responsibility but also helps build practical life skills in a real-world setting.
A Weekend Full of Adventure:
Each of our Adult Short Breaks is themed around the activities that we offer in the day service. This includes paddle sports, climbing, caving, hill walking, target sports and so on. We also like to throw in a few different options each year too, In 2025, we've got a weekend of fencing planned, along with a couple of breaks utilizing the outdoor facilities at Thornbridge Outdoors.
The Adventurers who attend our Day Service play an active role in planning the menu, resources, and activities in the week leading up to the trip.
This collaborative approach ensures that everyone’s preferences and abilities are taken into account, making each break a truly personalised experience.
Who Can Join:
Our Short Breaks are open to adults with additional support needs. This provides a fantastic opportunity to socialise, try new activities, and build friendships, all while giving parents and carers a well-deserved weekend of respite.
Support and Care:
We ensure a high level of support throughout the weekend, with a staffing ratio of 1:4. This allows us to provide individual attention while also promoting group interaction and teamwork.
