Escape

Escape is a group of young adults aged 18-30 with mild to moderate learning and/or physical disabilities who are all on a journey, looking for the next step in life. 

It’s about meeting new friends, creating memories, learning new skills and of course, having lots of fun along the way.

The team at Escape will support you to develop a program of activities based on your needs and support you to make decisions about the next steps in your life.

Some of the activities that regularly take place at Escape are:

• Arts & crafts activities
• Health & lifestyle activities: Rebound Therapy, going to the gym, swimming, walking, movement to music, Wheels for All, toning table
• Multi sensory stimulation & relaxation
• Cookery skills for pleasure, home & personal development
• Developing relationships with the local community

Escape is in two locations. At the Bury Adult Learning Centre base we have two rooms which have a bright and bold feel, kitted out with equipment especially chosen for the service. At the Bury Leisure Centre base we have one multi purpose room which also incorporates a kitchen, projector and screen and an activity room.
