Day activities

L’Arche Manchester offers day activities three days a week (Monday-Wednesday) for its members with learning disabilities and for people with learning disabilities in the wider Manchester community. We run activities including a gardening and allotment group, inclusive yoga, music, bread-making, and storytelling. In the coming months, we envisage our day activities provision to grow. It’s an exciting time for us.

We always love to hear from people who are interested in volunteering with us. If you would like to support our daytime activities, or even offer to run a session, please do get in touch. Jonny Wilson is our Day Activities and Volunteer Coordinator and he likes to hear from new people who want to be involved with L'Arche Manchester.
