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 returning to The VBS Community Stadium to cheer on our local side Sutton United as they take on Eastleigh on the 25th January. We provide free tickets for service users and support workers, and a free pre match meal for each service user.
Please get in touch if you would like to come, and become the latest of our Sutton Ultras!

March also sees the start of our free Talking Sessions - a chance for young people to express how they feel in an environment tailored to those who have additional needs. Qualified psychologist and professionals are there to help our service users and family speak about their challenges through art, therapy animals and more.
Although we are all about fun - we know it is important to feel your best and have an environment suitable for our community to express their feelings.

Together with Everyone Active we will be running monthly sports sessions for our service users.
Each session will focus on a different sport, so everyone gets to try their hand at something new or play the sports they love!

We are working closely with many well renowned DJs to give our service users a chance to learn how to mix like a pro!
These sessions will be monthly for any ability, and we are hoping everyone will take away a new skill and a memory stick of the mix's they have made!
2024 provided us and our service users plenty of memories and good times.
