Active8 are looking for young people (aged 14-30) with a physical disability, to become a part of their new project group, take part in residential weekends away, try amazing new activities, and build confidence and independence along the way.



Referrals can be made by a professional, parent, or the young person themselves: Referral | Active8



Active8 is a Cornwall-based youth group supporting young people with any type of physical disability and no impactful learning disability. Our projects give young people fun new experiences... from screen printing, ceramics, zipwire, cooking, sailing, horse riding, GoKarting, Quad Biking... no two days at Active8 are the same and our projects are shaped around what our members want to do.



Activities are fully funded, accessible transport may be available, and activities take place outside term time so school/College are not impacted.



“Over the last couple of years, I’ve become more aware of what I like, what I want, and things that I want to be doing. I would say to give it a go – you’ll probably find that you’ll love it.” Stan, Active8 member, March 2026



Any questions? Please contact myself or Lindsey our youth worker on yw@active8online.org

Know the Signs of Breast Cancer 💡

Checking your breasts regularly can help you notice changes early.

Contact your GP if you notice:

• A new lump or thickening in the breast or chest area
• A lump or swelling in the armpit
• A change in the size or shape of the breast
• Skin changes (such as dimpling or redness)
• Ni**le changes (such as turning inwards or discharge)
• A rash on or around the ni**le
• Pain in the breast or armpit that does not go away

Most changes are not cancer.
But it is always best to get them checked.

Getting Support 🫂

If you have a disability, long-term condition or need extra support, you can:

• Ask for a longer appointment
• Information in Easy Read or another format
• Bring a carer, advocate, or trusted person
• Ask for reasonable adjustments

You know your body best.
If something doesn’t feel right, speak to your GP.

Early checks can make a real difference. 💗
