We’re hosting a residential trip to Bendrigg for our members aged 8–25 this coming October. This is a fantastic opportunity for our younger members with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus to experience adventure and activities fully supported by the expert team and facilities at Bendrigg. So, come and join us for a wheelchair accessible weekend of unforgettable experiences!

About Bendrigg

‘You might be told on a regular basis what you can’t do when you have a disability, but we’re here to tell (and show) you what you can do.’  Bendrigg

Bendrigg Trust Activity Centre is based in Kendal in the Lake District, with access to stunning lakes, rivers, crags, fells and caves. This fantastic organisation has over 45 years of experience providing outdoor adventure activities for people with disabilities, both on and off site, and we’re thrilled to be working with them again this year.

During your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to experience activities such as abseiling, cycling, campfire, bushcraft, star gazing, zip wire, tube slide, sensory room and swing, disco, and art and crafts.
