How an Inclusive Nightclub Reduces Stress, Loneliness & Depression
Celebrating Learning Disability Week
We are coming to the end of Learning Disability Week. This years theme is “Do you see me?”
I could compose a very long article on how important weeks like this are. And the many ways that people within the disabled community deserve better platforms to be seen, heard and celebrated.
However, it will have a lot more meaning coming from the individuals that are being recognised.
Get Involved
Every Monday night at The Quays in Basildon, Essex, UK, adults with learning disabilities and their carers come together to sing, dance, laugh, socialise and feel part of something special, at a free event - ‘INVOLVE’.
This Learning Disability Week, we’re celebrating just how important that is.
🎥 In this video, we hear directly from our incredible guests about what ‘Involve’ means to them:
📊 In addition, here’s what our recent survey revealed:
93.9% said Involve improved their social life
86.8% felt their confidence grow
88.8% simply said they had fun
We’re rated 9.85/10 in importance by our community
60% of guests now go to other events with friends they’ve made at Involve
48% say Involve has helped them access other clubs, community activities and services
🤝 Shared social experiences lower loneliness and build lasting relationships – which 100% of our attendees say they’ve gained through Involve.
Thank you to everyone who makes Involve possible and to our amazing guests, for showing just how powerful inclusive spaces can be. Including Paul Usher, who has been a huge support in making the last year of Involve so special.
📍 Involve runs every Monday, from 6–9pm at The Quays, Basildon, Essex, UK.
Free entry for adults with SEN and their carers.
