15 000ft skydive for able2achieve · 6 September 2019

The able2achieve Trust is a registered charity (No. 1148173) dedicated to providing opportunities, support, and real work placements for people with learning disabilities or difficulties. We empower our learners to develop essential life skills, self-confidence, and independence through structured environments, social enterprises, and community engagement. Mindful of the able2achieve company goal, the able2achieve Trust was established to further our aspirations and support our learners with even more opportunities to learn, socialise, and engage with real work placements. We provide structured environments for people with learning disabilities or difficulties, enabling learning, work placements, and supportive social enterprises. This includes sporting activities, youth and social clubs, and supporting individuals in enterprise pursuits. The able2achieve Trust supports a range of social enterprises, each providing unique opportunities for our learners to gain real-world experience, develop skills, and build confidence in supportive environments. These work placements and social enterprises provide invaluable experience for our learners.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Able2achieve is the brain child of my inspirational, amazing and entrepreneurial Uncle Rupert. Being the a recent survivor of bile duct cancer, he has never been one to put his own issues before those of others. He has continued to expand and enrich a2a, which encourages adults with learning difficulties, mental health issues, autism and those with acquired brain injuries to live independently. Living with good quality support and having life experiences while working to the best of each individuals full potential 

Through projects like: The Winking Frog cafe, Silver Otter cafe, a2a antiques shop and day centre; a2a provides work experience and fantastic opportunities for their learners. Able2achieve work to their core values of opportunity, choice and respect. If something isn't working or a learner is upset, they can play their Rupert Card.  In every case, whether serious or 'trivial', the learner can talk about their issues with Rupert, who will listen and try to resolve any problems. 

As a charity very close to my whole family, I have decided to follow in the footsteps of my Auntie Lou and will be jumping from a plane at 15 000ft. Please support me and donate to this fantastic cause, and allow their work to continue to expand. 

More details of the work done at a2a can be found on their website.
