Helping Disabled Young Adults Live Their Best Lives
At The Fantastic Freddie Foundation
Charlie has been busy listening to our community and planning the events and services that will be on offer in 2025. We are lucky enough to have received funding from both the National Lottery and Sutton Council to provide a calendar full of fun and exciting opportunities!
Our calendar is always evolving as new ideas and opportunities arise so dates are subject to change until spaces are published - usually 1-2 months prior to the activity. Please get in touch with us and make sure you are subscribed so you know when sign ups are open!
We are lucky to have been part of the planning process for this years Sutton Learning Disabilities Conference on 17th June and are able to offer some places to the event for our members!
It is a brilliant chance for young people and support staff alike to hear about what is available in the borough and have your opinions heard.
Hear about useful skills in interesting workshops and engage with stalls from various organisations.
