Lea Green Centre has provided accessible activities for people with disabilities and additional needs for many years, and in recent times this inclusivity has increased tenfold.
We believe in ability over disability and will help participants to use our unique environment to develop skills, increase confidence, make new friends and enjoy themselves.
The main asset we have is our staff. Experienced, passionate and understanding, we can help you to achieve.
