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.
