Alpha Outbound provides its Members with an opportunity to participate in a range of social activities and short breaks whilst being assisted by experienced support workers. These events occur once and sometimes twice a month on either a Saturday or Sunday, and there may also be some weekend evening events (Friday or Saturday night). In addition, Alpha Outbound also runs two x 2 day camps/short breaks per year.
Alpha Outbound is a club where Members join and receive a Calendar of Events from which to choose activities they wish to participate in. Members (and their families) have the opportunity to suggest activities and build new relationships thereby fostering a sense of belonging and interest in the club.
Generally, activities will be undertaken in small groups of approximately six. The staffing ratio will be no more than 1:3 participants for each activity.
