Precious Time Together
Our award winning family courses are a wonderful way for families with a disabled member to spend quality time together.
They provide the opportunity to :
- Spend time together as a family and make precious memories trying adventurous activities include climbing, canoeing, caving & cycling.
- Time to socialise and meet other families.
- Enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings of the Lake District & Yorkshire Dales National Parks.
“It was such a positive experience! We felt so at home, the staff volunteers and trainees were inspirational and encouraging. It made you feel at ease and confident. I am so glad we know about Bendrigg!
We couldn’t fault the facilities, they were excellently laid out, the lounge was a great place to socialise and share what we had been doing during the day. Very disabled friendly with a fantastic view!
