Overview
Every Sunday of each month 10am - 3pm
Gener8 is for young people from 14 to 24 years old with a range of learning disabilities. We are based at 1a-3 Clarence Street, Sneinton, Nottingham, NG3 2ET. Our days are filled with fun, with some in-house activity days and a variety of days out in the community. The young people that attend can access arts and crafts, singing, music, dancing, drama, computers, X-Box and Wii, pool and outdoor fun including football, basketball, lacrosse and cricket. We go on a range of trips including the cinema, Stonebridge City Farm and meals out in the community, amongst many others.
As part of transition into adulthood, we develop independent travel skills, personal hygiene awareness, money and cooking skills. We also focus on developing self-confidence and self-esteem. Our ethos encourages respect for each other and our environment, and promotes socialisation skills within the group.
Gener8 is on every Sunday of each month. The session runs from 10 am to 3 pm.
You can access this service by using your personal budget (direct payment or any other form), direct funding through your local authority or private funds. Please visit our website to look at our monthly planner showing the activities we do.

We are a leading local Nottingham Voluntary Organisation founded in 1950, dedicated to the services of people with a learning disability/difficulty and their families and carers. We offer support in Nottingham and the surrounding area.
Through hard work and dedication from everyone involved with the organisation, and successful fundraising, Nottingham Mencap have been able to create a new space the people of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire can be proud of. The space includes a gym, health and beauty room, sensory room, multimedia suite, café and large function rooms for sessions such as dance, drama, creative writing, art and independent living skills.

Our services are charged for services, so you will need funding to attend.
