Welcome to the BUILD Charity’s Activity Programme
The BUILD Charity was established in 1967 and is a Norfolk-based independent registered charity providing social, leisure and learning opportunities for people with sensory, physical or learning disabilities.
BUILD offers a wide range of activities across Norfolk for people over the age of 16 years, including a weekly social club at the Vauxhall Centre in Norwich (known as the Wednesday Club), a community based activity programme (which includes sport, outdoor activities, country walks, day-trips, visits, meals out and gardening projects), and a Skills for Life programme supporting independent living skills. How to Use this Programme
1. Look at the calendar to find out what activities are on offer each week.
2. Go to the Information sections to find out more details about the activity, what time it is happening,
what you will need to take part, how much it will cost and how to book your place.
3. Most activities need to be booked in advance. To do this, you will need to fill in a BUILD Activity
Booking Sheet (BABS) which is available from our website, by calling the BUILD Office on 01603
618029 or emailing [email protected] If there is a fee to pay in advance, your place will not
be booked until we receive your booking form and your money. When we have received your booking
we will send you a receipt (if requested) for any money paid to confirm your place. About a week before the activity, you will
receive an Activity Information Sheet (AIS) with everything you need to know about the activity. (Remember – if you are new to
BUILD you will also need to complete a Registration Form)
4. Remember BUILD also offers membership and you can save £5 off the Activity Support Fee shown on some of our activities, and
you will get £5 off the entry price to the Wednesday Club.
No refunds are available if you cancel less than 24 hours before the start of an event, or do not attend. If you give more than 24 hour’s
notice, we will issue a credit note for the Activity Support Fee, but you may lose money on any costs we have already incurred.
Opportunities with the BUILD Charity
The BUILD Charity believes that people with sensory, physical or learning disabilities should have the same opportunities in life that everyone else does, so our programme of social, leisure and learning opportunities is arranged as a mixture of mainly weekday evening and weekend opportunities in various community locations across Norfolk. We do not provide care; we provide basic levels of support to enable people to make the most of a community-based opportunity. Anyone who has the need for help with going to the toilet, feeding or medication, or any other type of personal care or individual support, is welcome to access any of our opportunities but must bring the care required with them. Most activities encourage the use of public transport in getting to locations and meeting points. All of our opportunities are open to people over the age of 16, who are identified as having a sensory, physical or learning disability. We do not require a formal referral or medical information. For some activities we may ask people joining in to complete a health questionnaire to make sure that it is safe for them to take part. Our programme of activities is split into three core areas:
The Wednesday Club
The Community Activities Programme
The Skills for Life Programme
To Book your Place:
Fill out the BUILD Activity Booking Sheet on our website, fill it in at the Wednesday Club,
email us at [email protected] or Call us on 01603 618029
BUILD Fees and Charges
To get the best value out of BUILD activities, you should consider joining our monthly membership scheme. For just £18.00 a month members get:
BUILD Updates and Programmes for all our services mailed to your home or chosen address
Priority Booking for BUILD activities where space is limited
Save £5 per week on entry to the BUILD Wednesday Club in central Norwich
Save £5 on each of the Skills for Life workshops
Save £5 on the Activity Support Fee on some BUILD activities
Invitation and discounted entry to the BUILD Christmas Parties
If you pay the monthly BUILD Membership Fee of £18.00 and take part in more than 4 BUILD activities per month, you will find monthly membership will save you money. Here’s how… If you visit the Wednesday Club each week and take part in one other activity each week you will pay £96 each month, but only £74.00 as a BUILD member (including your membership fee) saving you £22.00 each month. Even if you do not go to Wednesday Club, you will still make a saving if you take part in one community activity each week. How to pay for activities:
By cash or cheque (at the BUILD Offices in Norwich or at the Wednesday Club)
On-line by direct credit to the BUILD Charity Bank Account
Via a monthly invoice arrangement
Contact Andy Rose on 01603 618029 to discuss membership and payment options.

Staying Safe - for people using or supporting activities
Adults or young people who use or support activities managed by BUILD have the right to expect
to feel safe and respected. This policy, designed by people who use and support our
programmes, sets out some expectations to keep people safe, and maintain appropriate
behaviour that shows respect for everyone attending an activity.
Showing respect to others:
People should not use language that others might find upsetting or offensive
People should not push others, punch, or use any other type of physical violence
People should avoid suggestive or sexual behaviour
People should avoid bullying of any kind
People should be polite to each other
People should follow reasonable requests and instructions given by staff or lead volunteers
People who have said that they intend to take part in an activity, or support it, should let BUILD know if they can no longer attend
Keeping Safe and Well:
All BUILD Volunteers and paid staff will complete a safeguarding check and be asked to supply the names of two unrelated people who can act as
references for them. They will also complete induction training which includes a briefing on BUILD’s Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults and Young People
Policy.
All BUILD Volunteers and paid staff will, within the first three months of their role, attend a workshop on safeguarding (or show evidence that they have
gained the learning from other paid or volunteer roles).
Smoking is not allowed in any building used by BUILD, unless in dedicated smoking areas.
Everyone is responsible for keeping personal possessions safe. BUILD will not be responsible for any loss or damages caused on a BUILD activity. Anyone
needing any form of personal care or help with medication will provide this for themselves, as BUILD staff and volunteers are not trained to do this.
