 SOFA Project

• The very popular SOFA (Summer of Fun Activities) programme has been put together by young people. The programme is designed for disabled and non-disabled and disadvantaged young people aged 12 – 19 years and will be well supported by qualified and a dedicated staff team.
• The programme is designed to support young people who might otherwise be involved in less positive activities so if you work with a group of young people or an individual young person who you think would benefit from taking part, please tell them about SOFA! SOFA is an ideal social opportunity which is age appropriate and relevant to young people and for many being with peers during the long summer break, makes a huge difference to maintaining and building their self-esteem and confidence levels.
