Help Learning Disabled Adults Gain Independence

PIP is a very busy place at the moment. Our academic timetable commenced in September, and we're working with a number of disabled adults new to PIP, as well as supporting those who have been with us for some time.

During the summer, PIP took part in the Cultural Olympiad, delivering a fantastic drama performance accompanied by a live orchestra!  'Journey of the Torch' told the tale of how the Olympic torch travelled from Athens to London.  Told through the eyes of our wonderfully creative disabled adults, it was the first time our Theatre Company performed to live music, and they responded with their usual creativity and originality! 

PIP is also having fundraising event in late October.  The first PIP Mountain Bike Challenge will be a beautiful 18 mile ride through the (potentially muddy) trails of the Chiltern Valley and along the Thames River.  Based at a local micro brewery in Henley-on-Thames, the event promises to be a great day out, with a BBQ for all involved finishing the day.  It's a great opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause and help out on the day.  Donations are always welcome, and if anyone would like to contribute on the day, please contact PIP.

Finally, PIP's annual trip to the working farm in Somerset approaches quickly.  Our disabled students are getting increasingly excited about feeding the animals, harvesting the apples, and spending a week in a new and exciting rural environment.  Final preparations are under way and we look forward to offering disabled adults new and exciting opportunities on the farm in Somerset!
