Forward Day Centre

Forward Day Centre supports adults with learning disabilities and autism in Kings Lynn and West Norfolk. From Millfleet, we support people with complex needs and people who would like to be independent. Our facilities include sensory rooms, music rooms, kitchens and a workshop. We also occupy a factory unit and many of the items that Members make there are sold in our town centre gift shop, where Members volunteer. We like to be active within the community, tending planters in Kings Lynn, litter picking and being involved in local issues. The Adapted Sports Hub would be a wonderful and well-needed asset for people with disabilities, young and old. It has our full support.

The Magpie Centre West Norfolk

The Magpie Centre has been a dedicated RDA riding centre at Wallington Hall for over 30 years. Our horses and ponies provide therapy, achievement and enjoyment to people with disabilities and SEN. We offer activities such as riding and carriage driving to all age groups and, wherever possible, to people with any disability. We also offer ‘Tea with a Pony’ for those living with dementia or other disabilities and Equine Assisted Learning Therapy (EALT) a programme encouraging interaction between horses and people to promote mental wellbeing.

The Downham Otters Swimming Club

The Downham Otters Swimming Club for those needing assistance. Sessions are held every Tuesday at the Downham Market leisure centre from 2-30 – 4pm.

The Otters swimming club is for adults with varied disabilities and their carers. Permission is needed from the GP of the client, that they would benefit from water based exercise and a little information is required about the person’s disability in order that they are matched with a suitable able-bodied helper or they may wish to bring their own helper. The club would not be able to exist without the support of our able-bodied helpers. So we welcome anyone who would like to become involved in helping us serve the local community.

The exercises consist of 10 minute of gentle warm up stretching and about 25 minutes of gentle exercises to popular 60’s 70’s music. The weekly fee is £2-00 with a yearly subscription of £7-50. There is also a very active social side to the club with summer BBQ’s and Christmas Dinner with awards for outstanding members.
