Encouraging adults with learning disabilities to attend an outdoor programme

This quality improvement (QI) project set out to make it possible for people to self-refer to an outdoor programme and aimed to increase the attendance rate to 80 per cent.

Jasmine Davis, a care co-ordinator with I Say Supported Living Services in Medway, said: “James and team was very helpful and made the activity fun and exciting for all participants.

“My client in particular, enjoyed the social aspect of the course and looked forward to this every week. She has now completed two courses with James and his team and would be interested if there are further activities she could attend.

“Part of the reason she attended these activities was to gain friendships. Since attending these groups, she has built a great relationship with other individuals and is meeting up with them regularly.”
