Bringing colour to the lives of people with learning disabilities

Kangaroos is a registered charity based in Mid Sussex providing a range of fun, inclusive social and leisure activities in our local community all year round for children and young adults with learning disabilities and additional needs. We enable them to have a social life with their peers and give them opportunities to enjoy a wide range of activities, supported by our experienced staff and volunteers.

Our Vision is to ensure that people with learning disabilities can exercise their right to leisure, play and recreational activity.

We are a family-centred charity offering a safe and supported environment to our members. We aim to push boundaries, offer fun and friendship, and to build independence, confidence and self esteem.

It’s what we call the ‘Kangaroos Way’.
