Disabled Doncaster youngsters enjoy busy weekend of outdoor activities

Users of Phab Doncaster headed up Bendrigg Trust in Kendal to try out a range of fun activities and sports.

A spokesperson for the community voluntary group, which provide sessions and events for disabled children and adults and those with special educational needs said: “With a little organisational help from Phab, 46 children, young people, families, and carers all spent the weekend enjoying canoeing, climbing, zip lining, biking, sports, the sensory room, archery and more.

"And we’d add, all in the glorious sunshine.”

Phab spokesperson Laura Sophie added: “The weekend was truly inspirational, being able to share it with our amazing individuals, many of for whom it was their first time away from home or a hospital setting.

"The smiles say it all, and it was certainly an emotional weekend. Everyone deserves the chance to be part of our community.”
