During October half term the team at Leicestershire Cares came together in a cross project collaboration to support 24 young people to enjoy a day out at Alton Towers.
The fun filled day allowed our young people to enjoy some new experiences, build on their life skills, all whilst making memories.
Our Skills checklist included
- Stepping out of their comfort zone
- Meeting New People
- Being Part of a social group
- Compromise and decision making
- Navigating/map reading/route planning
- Ordering and paying for food/making purchases
What a great day the trip to Alton towers was, it was a lovely experience for our young people to partake in such a fun filled day! For many of our young people it was the first time visiting a theme park and they all thoroughly enjoyed it

It was a well needed trip. I liked the fact I could openly scream on the rides with no context. It was nice to spend time with my friends that I have developed through my time at Leicestershire Cares and just laugh, chill an make new memories.
