BftF Plus – building confidence, friendship and fun

BftF 'Plus' is a vibrant community for young people with disabilities aged 18–25. Through regular meet-ups, social activities and volunteering, 'Plus' helps members gain independence, confidence and friendships that last well beyond the sessions.

Recently our young people explored the V&A’s Disability and Design exhibition, enjoyed Wellness Walks at Dinton Pastures and tested their skills at our growing Sports Fun Club - perfecting their boccia and new-age kurling while laughing together. Several members also represented the charity at Parallel Windsor, the UK’s inclusive sports festival, proudly completing the 1k race and helping on our stall.

Partnerships are flourishing too. The University of Reading Students’ Union has invited our group to take part in on-campus quiz nights, karaoke and international food events — widening social circles and building new experiences.

And with Our House soon moving to a larger building, we’re creating a dedicated 'Plus' area for the first time. Members are helping design what it should include — from a DJ deck to a chill-out space.

'Plus' is for young people with disabilities who want MORE out of life and we're here to make that happen.
