<p><strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; background-color: white;">January 2012 saw the beginning of a new Hampshire based Youth Scheme at Oakridge Hall for All in Basingstoke. This unique project, which is supported by Hampshire County Council, will allow disabled young people between the ages of 13-18 to socialise and develop through leisure activities.</span></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><strong><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Verdana&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;amp;quot;; color: #666666; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">By expanding, Disability Challengers is reaching hundreds more families who will be able to attend the scheme every Saturday and on Monday evenings.
