We are pleased to be hosting AQA as they run their Skills for Independence course here at Sargood!
AQA’s tailor-made three day course is developed to equip people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) with the skills, knowledge and confidence to further their independence and wellbeing.
Developed and led by people with lived experience, this course will provide you with opportunities to connect with others to problem solve, share life experiences, acquire new skills and engage in adaptive outdoor recreational activities. This course is designed to actively involve your family members (including children) or companions who have been a key support during your life.
