Working at ELHAP

ELHAP is a magical and unique charity, providing adventure play opportunities to disabled and disadvantaged children, young people and adults. Since 1976, we have supported tens of thousands of disabled children. Each year, ELHAP attracts over 6,000 visits from across North East London and Essex.

Our Values

In asserting children, young people and adults right to accessible, free and real adventure play opportunities, ELHAP believes in:

• respecting the dignity and self-worth of each young person
• respecting and valuing individual differences
• recognising the growing autonomy of each person
• respecting every person’s right to make choices regarding their lives
• recognise the potential of each person

Our Vision

Through adventure play and its binding principles of respect, choice and trust all people, regardless of ability or dis-ability, are equal and free to develop to their full potential.

Our Mission

To provide inclusive, natural and stimulating adventure play and related recreation to all children, young people and adults who are disadvantaged through disability, adversity or difficult life experience through the provision of accessible, user led and friendly services to families in need.

We work with children, young people and adults with disabilities and additional needs.
