We are Absolutely Leisure a Registered Charity formed in 2009 operating leisure venues across the South of England. Through our charitable work we have provided use of our facilities to local community groups and Charities enabling them to fulfill their objectives or raise funds for their causes, as a result of this work Absolutely Leisure has helped over 100,000 people. In 2017 we made the decision to further our charitable works, by developing our own schemes to help one of the most vulnerable and socially isolated groups in our society. With that in mind we started the Absolutely Together. Absolutely Together aims to put smiles on the faces of families who have children or young adults with additional needs. These families often experience emotional and practical pressures which restrict the opportunities available to them. This can lead to social isolation, mental health problems and an inability to get their children active. Many of these families also suffer significant financial difficulties which further restricts their ability to access leisure activities in the community. All family leisure time should be something that is cherished, but for many, it can be an incredibly stressful time. Absolutely Together helps these families by providing free access to exciting activities in the communities we work in. Helping put smiles on faces and create memories that will last a lifetime.
