Since 1957 Phab has enabled disabled and non-disabled children, young people and adults to make more of life together, through local Phab Clubs, holiday projects, wheelchair accessible holiday homes and events.
Our 140 Phab Clubs across England and Wales, with around 8,000 members, make a real difference to the lives of disabled and non-disabled people of all ages - with siblings, friends and whole families joining in. Local Phab Clubs make a real impact on individual members and families, reducing social isolation and loneliness, improving mental and physical well-being, and increasing confidence, self-esteem and independence for all involved.
Phab's Inclusive Living Experience Residential Projects enable disabled or disadvantaged children and young adults aged 8 to 30 to enjoy the same challenges and experiences as and alongside their non-disabled peers, taking on a range of exciting activities at fully accessible outdoor activity centres in the New Forest and Lake District. Supported by Phab volunteers and carers, the children and young people build their confidence, independence and self-esteem whilst learning new practical and personal skills and just having great fun together.
Our two wheelchair accessible holiday homes at Waterside Holiday Park and Spa at Weymouth, Dorset, enable families to have a much-needed break away together, confident that both accommodation and facilities will meet their needs - with level access to the Waterside's heated indoor and outdoor pools, leisure complex, restaurant, bar and shops, and entertainment for children and adults.
And our long-standing work engaging with young people continues, with Phab Clubs or Phab Holiday Projects supported and led by students at universities (including Nottingham, Birmingham and Bristol) and in schools (including Westminster School, Merchant Taylors' and St. Helen's School in Middlesex, Aldenham School in Hertfordshire, Framlingham College in Suffolk, and Sydenham High).
