Overview

We work on the basis that no one-size-fits-all-needs. Instead, we offer a wide range of activities and formats each adapted to suit the largest range of needs that preserve the authentic adventure.

For example one of our sailing options (solo canoe sailing) is loved by our clients living with a mobility impairment for the speed and independence it offers, but often our clients with a visual impairment or cognitive disability prefer working as a team to helm and managing the ropes of a larger boat.

On each activity and trip page, you will find a table of what abilities are required to join the trip or event or you can use the ability first page for links to activities that match your ability profile. If you see your abilities in the “speak to us” section and you want to come; do just that it's a guide - not a “hard no”. 

There are two ways to make things increasingly accessible: tone down the adventure or tone up the adaptions.

We tone up - we take the typical adventure experience and build our initial ability needs statement. Then we think, fiddle, experiement and learn to build out which needs we can cater for. Everyone is different and we keep learning new stuff all the time so the barriers lift for more and more people.

We love it when someone comes with a new adaptive aid or technique, or need we haven't considered adding to our tool kit - and are often found scurrying back to the computer to revise the "ability needs document” up another level. 

We do loads of things and work with a huge variety of clients’ needs wants and aspirations, which makes the sites quite big so please feel free to wander around or use the links in the top bar or read on for some handy shortcuts.

Anyone Can mostly stick to four core activities rock climbing, canoeing, sailing and caving. The nature of our work means we have a fantastic wheelchair-accessible support vessel “Freedom” and we also offer access to the lake using her.

Sticking to only four core activities allows us to concentrate on two things:

1 ) Concentrate on improving the adaptive equipment and techniques employed - if you visit a page for a specific activity (e.g. Seapig) you will see the things we can offer to open up the range of users that can access her.

2) Offer ongoing support across your developing skill levels - so you don't get into something and then immediately run out of opportunities. Canoe with us for a day and find out what it is like for you, then join us for a paddling camping weekend expedition, then perhaps a week canoeing across Scotland or start your river paddling progression. We can provide similar progressions in all our sports.
