Of Course We Can! - Opportunities for disabled children and young people in Gloucestershire

The spring/summer 'Of Course We Can' brochure has been posted to families and is now on our website 
(click here for PDFBrochure)
The range of events has already attracted favourable comment. We have been asked for some clarification and I am copying this clarification for you below:

  1. The 'Of Course We Can' events are all designed so that the same group of disabled children and young people are present for each day of the event. You book for the whole thing; you don’t sign up for particular days
  2. The prices given in the brochure are not a cost per day. They are the cost for the whole event. 

e.g. ‘Seed to Table Gardening’ costs a total of £60 and you go to all six days of that event for that price.


This has always been the case in the 'Of Course We Can' programme, but we will specifically state this in future brochures as we recognise that we have not made this as clear as it might be.


Please explain that the programme is designed for the group to spend the whole time together as it is about building relationships as well as doing an activity. 


All best wishes,


Philip Douch
Development Manager

 “Take the Scrapstore Challenge! Gather your materials from an exciting range of recycled scrap and work with professional sculptors to design and construct Olympian animatronics puppets to walk or wheel about. Take part in the Gloucester Carnival procession and then meet up to see bands, ride the funfair and join in Gloucester’s summer festivities”  - Harriet West
