LinkAble

A corporate charity partnership. Done right.

We are ecstatic and beyond grateful to have received an extension of LinkAble's partnership with The Fidelis Foundation, now entering our fourth year together.

They have awarded us an incredible £50,000, bringing the total support for LinkAble to £160,000! This ongoing generosity has created a profound impact on the people with a learning disability, autistic people, and families who rely on us.

Over the years of our partnership, we've built a relationship based on trust, communication, and transparency. What makes it special is that The Fidelis Foundation trusts us as the experts in learning disability and autism, knowing we're best placed to decide where funding will achieve the best outcomes for the people we support. Every penny from this partnership has been unrestricted, which is unusual for corporate partnerships.

This freedom has allowed us to split their investment between direct service delivery and vital investment in our infrastructure, helping us build a solid foundation for growth within our 'No Limits' programme for adults. This means the people we support benefit immediately, and will continue to benefit for years to come, alongside the growing number of new people joining our services.

This is how a corporate charity partnership builds a legacy of change.

See how we've done it below.

Thank you so much 💙 💚

In just 7 weeks, the Inclusive Games are back — and we cannot wait! 🏅

One of this year's sports is accessible cycling, and it's going to be a highlight of the day. Our friends at Surrey Wheels for All will be bringing a brilliant range of adapted bikes, so that everyone can experience the joy of cycling.

On the day you can try a range of specially adapted bikes meaning anyone can experience that feeling of fun and freedom that comes with inclusive cycling. Options include tricycles for riders who need more stability, handcycles for those who use their arms rather than legs, and tandem bikes where two people can ride together.

Everyone is welcome. Children and adults, there's going to be a lot to get involved with!

We're so close! The new LinkAble playground is nearly finished, and it's already looking incredible! 💙💚

Our new nest swing is already a firm favourite (as you can see!).

The whole area has been resurfaced with a safe, accessible surface, free from trip hazards and suitable for wheelchairs, trikes, and all kinds of adventures.

When it's complete, the space will also include creative wall art, imaginative play zones, and a shaded quiet area — everything designed to support play, learning, and wellbeing for the children we support. With all this hot weather, it looks like we will have finished the project just in time!

Thank you to everyone whose generosity made this possible:
- Balfour Beatty
- Surrey County Council Wraparound Care
- The Morrisons Foundation
- Woking Lions
- Woking District Rotary
- Everyone who supported our 'An Inclusive Space for Play' appeal.

This shows what happens when people come together to support community projects. It's an incredible achievement. Pictures of the finished area coming soon!

Just 8 weeks to go until the Inclusive Games! So, it's officially time to start getting excited 🏅

One of the sports you can try on the day is Boccia (pronounced "bot-cha") — and it's one of the most accessible sports in the world.

Here's how it works: players take turns throwing, rolling or kicking coloured balls as close as possible to a white target ball called the jack. The closest ball scores a point. Simple to learn, but incredibly fun to play.

Players who can't throw or kick a ball can use a ramp and an assistant to help propel it, meaning it can be played by anyone regardless of age, gender, ability, or disability.

Want to get some practice in before the big day? We run a fun and friendly weekly Boccia Club, visit our website to find out more.

Are you the parent or carer of a young person aged 14-20 with additional needs?

We need your help please!

As you know, the move from children's services to adult social care can feel overwhelming. So, we're applying for funding to create a new 'Transitioning to Adulthood Programme' to support your whole family through this stage — and your feedback will directly shape what we build.

Please take a few minutes to complete our short, anonymous survey. Your answers will help us design a service that meets your family's needs.

The survey is open to everyone, not only people using our services.
