Activities With A Mental Health Disability

COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS)

We have had to make the decision to suspend all groups for the time being to avoid the risk of spreading infection, especially considering the vulnerability of the young people who use our services. This decision will be reviewed in the light of national and local developments with the virus.

The Bivol Trust provides skills development opportunities, social outlets and work experience to young people with severe disabilities aged 12 years to 40 years.

COVID-19 Update:
Our offices in Copnor are staffed and you can call us for further advice on our services on 023 9267 1846 or email at enquiries@enableability.org.uk

We appreciate how recent months must have been very challenging for our service users and carers. All our team are keen to offer services as soon as government guidance allows and it is safe to do so for participants and staff alike.

The service runs a range of sport activities to young people aged 5 to 24 years of age.
