The scheme part of the What Next? programme has been developed as a result of the growing need to provide a practical activities service to young people aged between 16-25 years old with moderate to profound physical disabilities and mild to moderate learning disabilities living in Belfast and surrounding areas.
It's packed full and includes:
*Activities programmes we offer disabled young people aged 16 and 25 and how to register
*Details on our Family Support Services
*First ever boys and girls sleepover at Lilac House
*On the blog - Volunteers share their experience
