Life Skills & Independence
Help with everyday skills at home and in the community, like cooking, shopping, travel training, and personal routines to build confidence and independence.












Our goal is to support young adults with learning difficulties using a wide range of person-centred activities designed to promote physical and mental development. We differ from many providers in that as well as delivering an indoor programme of essential life skills, we offer a range of adventurous and fun outdoor and indoor physical activities, supported by experienced, trained staff.
Help with everyday skills at home and in the community, like cooking, shopping, travel training, and personal routines to build confidence and independence.
Fun, inclusive activities such as climbing, skiing, swimming, trampolining, and walks, carefully adapted so every young person can join in and be active.
Support to meet new people, join clubs, and enjoy days out, helping young people build friendships, feel included, and enjoy life in their local community.
Tagline
We offer a wide range of supported activities designed for young adults with disabilities to be active, independent, and included. From cycling and walking to skiing, swimming, and trampolining, every session is carefully planned so each young person can participate at their own pace, feel safe, and have fun.
Supported cycling on specialist trikes, building confidence, fitness, and freedom outdoors.

Supported climbs on safe indoor walls, with routes for all abilities and close guidance.

Supported walks in beautiful rural landscapes, boosting fitness, mood, and social connection.

Fun, low-impact bouncing sessions that improve balance, coordination, and cardiovascular fitness.

Person‑centred support for young adults with disabilities, combining life skills, social opportunities, and adventurous activities so every person can grow in confidence and independence.

Fun, person‑centred fundraising challenges that promote teamwork, independence, and a real sense of achievement for everyone involved.

Enabling Activities was established by Phil and Cathy Peplow, parents of Kelly — a fun-loving young lady with complex physical and learning disabilities. Despite these, Kelly has walked in the Lake District, skied in the French Alps, and cycled wherever there are hills and mountains throughout Europe.
When Kelly was about to leave college, we found that there were no services capable of meeting her needs. We realised that only through flexible, professional and individualised support could she be fully engaged — and so, in April 2016, Enabling Activities was born.
