Over the years we have worked hard to improve our facilities and equipment to accommodate people with multiple disabilities, fitting automatic wide entrance doors and push button bedroom doors, new accessible bathrooms and specialist bedroom furniture.

We have adapted canoes using hoists for wheelchair users, improved the overhead rail system on our wheelchair ropes course and upgraded the approach paths to our sensory garden and play area to allow wheelchair access. A recent addition is an all weather wheelchair friendly sports area.
