Greetings from GoGet!
Written by Katy - 15th January 2021
Hello and welcome to the GoGet blog! A lot has happened this past year and one of the things we’ve been very aware of is the importance of spreading joy where we find it. We’re extremely lucky here at GoGet to be confronted with snippets of joy in all sorts of places and this blog is our chance to share it with you all.
At GoGet, we specialise in cycle coaching and community support. Our cycle coaching is taking a back seat right now, while we all buckle down and do what we can to support our GoGet Active clients through the challenges of the pandemic. At GoGet Active we support clients with additional needs to get out, get active and to enjoy everything the outside world has to offer. Our days find us hiking on hilltops, shooting down cycle tracks, showing off our water sports skills or triumphing over high ropes courses. If it’s active and exciting, we’re up for it. When it comes to providing sensory and vestibular stimulation for our clients, we think our imaginative and high energy pursuits have a lot to offer. And yes, we think we’ve got working life pretty good too!
So what are you going to get from this blog? Well, cards on the table, we’re new to this. But we’re always up for a challenge! So if you have thoughts about what you’d like to see here, pop them in the comments and we’ll do our best to oblige! In the meantime, we have adventures to share with you, places we love, people we’re proud of and some great resources that we feel everyone should benefit from. We’ll be sharing some success stories, giving you a little insight into what our days at GoGet look like and hopefully highlighting some hidden gems in the local area that have loads to offer for people of all abilities. One of the positives that has come out of recent months has been the increase in communication aids and other resources for people with additional needs that have been made available for free to support families in these challenging times. We’ll be sharing those with you too; the more people who have access to these sorts of things, the better!
The last year has looked very different to how any of us planned, and GoGet is no exception to this! We love the great outdoors, but our clients (and ourselves!) still appreciate a swim or a trampoline day from time to time! The loss of our favourite indoor options has made us think more creatively about our outdoor opportunities. We’ve explored new places, tried out new activities, and, if we do say so ourselves, gone to great lengths to keep things feeling fresh and interesting for our clients within the limits of the restrictions. It hasn’t always been easy, but our clients find ways to inspire us every single day. We’re looking ahead to brighter and better times, and we would love you to come on this journey with us!
