Conwy Connect offers a wide range of services
Conwy Connect has helped us to give our daughters opportunities which they may not have in society. This has enabled them to show us what they can do with a bit of support!

Our Activities
Here at Conwy Connect, we plan and hold lots of activities for both adults and children with learning disabilities. From weekly groups to days out, we love giving our members the opportunity to try new things whilst making new friends.
Discos
Our disco is a highlight in both the member’s and the staff’s social calendars. An uplifting night out where we are firm supporters of the “Stay Out Late” campaign. We run an adults disco on alternate Monday’s and our under 18’s disco is once a month.
Makaton Choir
The Makaton Choir meets on alternate Monday’s to learn how to sign to music. Makaton is a language programme that uses signs together with speech and symbols, to help communication. Never signed before? Don’t worry! Our Makaton choir is a great place to start!
Youth Clubs
We currently have three Youth Clubs across North Wales.
With quizzes, table tennis, bingo, games and chats, our youth club is the perfect place to come and meet other young people with a learning disability, and for parents to come and create a support system.
Art Groups
We have weekly art sessions for adults and children and young people. With a great variety of activities our art groups are a great place to come and get arty!
Sports Sessions
From Boccia to Bowls, Dance to Yoga come and get moving with us! All our group leaders tailor the sessions to a variety of abilities. Come and give these sessions a go, and lets get moving!
