ABOUT US

At Joyful Journeys, we offer two key sessions (term time only): Crafty Creations on Mondays, where participants explore their creative side through hands-on crafting, and Confidence Crew on Wednesdays, which focuses on building self-esteem and communication skills. Both sessions are designed for adults with learning disabilities and offer a welcoming, relaxed environment to grow and connect.
 

Why Joyful Journeys Began
Joyful Journeys was founded to fill a gap in the Bellgreen and Woodend areas of Coventry, where there is limited provision for adults with learning disabilities. Seeing the need for more opportunities for creative expression and confidence-building, I, Lisa Boyle, created a space where individuals can feel empowered and supported. With a background in adult lifelong learning and a PTTLS qualification, I have spent many years coaching adults with learning disabilities in finding work and gaining independence. Combining my passion for the creative arts and my experience in supporting individuals, Joyful Journeys was born. I am also trained in safeguarding and first aid, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for everyone.
 

A Relaxed and Enjoyable Atmosphere
While our sessions are thoughtfully planned, they are flexible and relaxed. We take a break for refreshments, with a tuckshop available for those who want a snack. The atmosphere is always welcoming, allowing plenty of time for everyone to socialise and unwind.
 

Additionally, for those who want a safe and comfortable space without actively participating in the session, we offer a Mindful Coloring and Puzzle Corner where you can enjoy quiet activities. This space provides a peaceful environment for just £15 per session.

Try Before You Join
If you're curious but unsure about joining, you're welcome to try a session for free or attend a taster evening. You can bring along your parents or carers, and personal carers are always welcome to join alongside service users.

While we strive to include everyone, participants need to have some level of independence and basic communication skills to fully benefit from the sessions. We’re always open to discussing any individual needs to ensure the best experience for everyone.
