FAQ’s

Take a look at some of the feedback from our latest family session:

“The session was great. My son loved every minute and didn’t want to go home. A great session. Thank you so much”

“I feel that the event was really well organised and the staff were very knowledgeable and aware of needs and how they vary from child to child. Everyone was really friendly and it was made easy that even in the middle of a meltdown no one flinched. People offered help if needed but left us to deal with it necessary. Thanks for a wonderful event.”

On Saturday 4th November we ran our very first adult inclusive inflatable swim session at Life Leisure Romiley. It was the first time we have delivered an accessible inflatable swim session specifically for adults, with eight people who attended. This is a real positive for its first event and we have received fantastic feedback to build on promoting future events. One parent sent through this feedback:

“There’s no other way to describe it; Romiley’s inclusive swim session for adults went swimmingly. We can put this success down to the fantastic team at Life Leisure who have engaged and listened to families, and the Access to Activity Forum at Seashell Trust, where parents views are now being translated into action. Big thanks to all at Life Leisure, especially inclusion officer Phil who was there on the day.”

Mini Movers is a popular pre-school class suitable for 0 – 5 year olds held at Life Leisure Brinnington Park. There are so many benefits from attendance of the sessions.

This is a pilot session throughout the rest of 2023, but our long-term goal is to not only provide a sustainable activity session for SEND children aged between 7-16 years, but also to use this session as a stepping stone into other provisions that we offer at Life Leisure such as; holiday camps, swimming, gym and more.
