Preparing for adulthood - social life (SEND)

You can use this website to find places to visit in your local area including libraries, parks, beaches and community centres. 

You can also find information about our clubs and activities service, SENDCAS. They can help you find fun things to do and can also give you a buddy through the Buddy Scheme. 

There are also lots of national services that you might find interesting.

Staying safe

If you are worried about staying safe while out of your home, you can join the Safe Places Scheme run by Avon and Somerset Police.

Relationships

Luv2meetU is a friendship and dating agency in Bristol for people with a learning disability or autism aged 18 years and over.  They can support you to make friends and develop relationships.

Contact has produced a useful guide for young disabled people called 'growing up, sex and relationships'.

Volunteering

Volunteering is a good opportunity to meet new people while trying new things.  Voluntary Action North Somerset (VANS) can help you find volunteering opportunities in the local area.
