Pegasus Playscheme provide Good Quality support and services for  children with a variety of severe and complex disabilities.
We operate a 3 week summer playscheme, offering activities for children with disabilities and severe learning difficulties. Each child is supported by a local able bodied teenager.

We provide open access for disabled children giving them opportunities to meet new people, make new friends and experience a wide variety of different fun and risk taking activities in a safe envionment.

At Pegasus we cater for each of the 5 outcomes from the Governments
“Every Child Matters”
Plan

Pegasus provide places for over 65 children each day, we place them into age appropriate groups.

We are able to do this by hiring 4 mini-buses ensuring all children participate in leisure activities.

Activities such as Sailing, Sea Safari, Pony Trecking, Swimming, the Cinema, Horse Riding, Canoeing and we also visit local zoo, farms etc, on a rota.

Pegasus offer a safe environment for children, some of whom have a rare and complex disability, enabling them to enjoy a fun packed summer playscheme. 

We promote independence allowing the children themselves to make the choices of which activities they would like to take part in through discussion at our Youth Forum meetings and feedback after the scheme.

Whilst also providing 70 plus teenagers the opportunity to enrich their lives, building skills and encouraging voluntary work, shaping their future.

We actively promote community acceptance of disabled children as being equal members of the area in which they live.

Pegasus run a traditional scheme to 21st Century guidelines, and this year we celebrated  25 years of operation.

We operate to Ofsted registration guidelines. We had a full Ofsted inspection in August 2009 receiving "Good" a copy of which can be viewed on the Ofsted website.

Pegasus have a full complement of up-to date Policies including
Child Protection and Vulnerable Young Adults.

We use sport and exercise to strengthen communities and provide opportunities for people who are excluded or disadvantaged through low income, rural or social isolation, age, disability, race, sexuality or gender to tackle the exclusion and isolation experienced by some of the poorest and most disadvantaged communities.

All volunteers and committee are subjected to Full Enhanced CRB checks
