The Stables Day Services

Bisterne, Ringwood

Here we offer a varied programme of activity all of which support people to develop and learn new skills, improve their confidence and knowledge, and build new friendships.

Choosing healthier lifestyle options is good for everyone, but we know how important it is to support people with learning disabilities to make healthy lifestyle choices as being healthier and fitter supports their mental and physical wellbeing.

Our health and fitness programme offers a wide range of choice every week, including dance, yoga, walking, swimming, cycling, go-karting, and Zumba. We have outdoor gym equipment which is accessible all year round and people can participate in group games such as skittles, bowls and ball games, all of which support coordination and improved core strength.

Our horticultural programme supports people to be physically active whilst learning about plant care, how to grow plants, how to care for the growing environment plants need, and about the important role that plants and trees play in our natural environment and our own physical and mental health and wellbeing.

Participating in meaningful activities and building positive relationships has a positive impact on people’s mental health, which in turn has a positive impact on their physical health and we also offer regular opportunities to participate in other healthy outdoor activities, including cycling, swimming and walking.

With access to extensive and beautiful outdoor spaces people can enjoy a wide range of leisure activities. The Stables offers something for everyone, all year round!
