Shaypes organise regular activities and events for young people and adults in the local community. We have a huge range of daytime activities which help to encourage mobility and social interaction. All our activities are focused on encouraging a healthy lifestyle, promoting good mental health and enhancing the lives of our young people.
We organise activities throughout the year, and no matter the season, there is something to get involved with. In the colder months, we enjoy exercise classes, pub trips and winter walks. During the summer and holidays, we organise plenty of days out and always have a full calendar of events.
Some of our daytime activities include:
Dance Classes
To get young people moving and everyone leaves feeling happy and energised.
Mini Golf
To encourage social interaction and aid the development of problem-solving skills as well as being a super fun day out.
Work Experience
To help young people find work experience opportunities throughout Kent.
