Pegasus

ABOUT THE GROUP-

Pegasus is a group for young people aged 13-19yrs with special needs. The group meet every Thursday night from 7pm-9pm at Mountfields Youth Centre Loughborough.
At Pegasus we do activities that help young people develop and gain skills to enable them to move up to the more adult focused group Spirit Of Adventure which is for young adults with special needs aged 19- 25 yrs.

PEGASUS CULTURE EVENING

At Pegasus Special Needs Group we run a range of different activities. We do culture evenings where the group look at different countries and cultures around the world, the group will try some cooking, look at the history of the country and try a bit of the language and sometimes even dress up in traditional dress.

Garden Project

Pegasus applied for some funding to renovate the garden at Mountfields Youth Centre, the group were awarded £7000!!! We had some help from a big well known company to do the heavy stuff and work the big machinery, then we planted bulbs and cleared the garden. We had a big launch evening where the garden was officially opened, there was a bbq and an owl sanctuary who brought owls of all sizes for us to hold and touch. it was a great night and everyone really enjoyed it.
