"We focus our energies on what people can do whilst they are here, not what they can't do. What ever the challenges people face, there's invariably a solution."
additional needs
At Wildside, we do our utmost to make sure that people with additional needs can have access to nature and the outdoors.
We work with people who have physical disabilities, learning difficulties, mental health issues and other life limiting and long-term health needs.
​
In a green environment, people can experience a closeness to nature and often learn more easily. The peace and quiet usually lessens stress and sensory overload for those who experience issues in these areas.
We have parking on site; a ramp up to the main meeting room and two fully accessible toilets.
Access to the woodland can be limited for wheelchairs particularly in wet weather, but there is a hard standing accessible path to The Burrow, our woodland log cabin and ramped access to the towpath by the canal. Our narrowboat has a lift for wheelchair access.
We endeavour to do whatever we can to accommodate the needs of all our users and we would welcome any advice or feedback from anyone who would like to help us improve what we do for all our service users.
