Prince Philip Centre Leeds PHAB - Activity weekend break Bendrigg Trust Centre  – Kendal  9.5.25 to 12-5-25

Friday 9th May

Once again, we provided the holiday weekend for Leeds PHAB members in partnership with National PHAB.  A total of 16 members and PA’s participated. As on previous occasions we joined Rebecca Hargreaves, National PHAB Projects and Development Manager, and her team of volunteers. We again provided transport to take the members to Bendrigg in three Leeds PHAB minibuses driven by our volunteer drivers.  In addition, we hired a transit van for luggage, manual wheelchairs and bath/toilet equipment. As in the past St Agnes’ Church was the departure venue which provided the reception hall, toilet facilities and reserved parking space for our vehicles.  Everyone met-up around twelve noon to enjoy a fantastic buffet lunch provided by our very own Julie and paid for by generous funders. We set off for Bendrigg early afternoon and arrived at the activity centre about 3.30pm where we were met by the National PHAB Team. After a short break the Leeds PHAB volunteer drivers returned to Leeds. We arranged to leave two minibuses at Bendrigg Trust which proved to be a valuable mileage and cost saving. A full programme of amazing activities has been arranged over the weekend including Sports Hall games, canoeing, cycling, wall climbing, sensory room, zip wire and much more.

Monday 12th May

The Leeds PHAB minibus volunteer drivers and equipment van set off early morning from Leeds arriving at Bendrigg around 10.45am. Members met new friends and had many exciting stories to share. After lots of hugs and goodbyes we departed Bendrigg around 11.15am arriving at St Agnes’ Church at 1.30pm.

This has been yet another extremely successful event and grateful thanks go to the PHAB Management Committee, volunteer drivers, Mike, Julie, Dave A and Dave M, Rebecca Hargreaves and her team plus the Bendrigg staff who all supported this project.  Also the very kind and generous sponsors including Leeds City Councillors and members of St Agnes’ Church congregation. None of this would have been possible without the help of everyone concerned.
