Pauls Place (South West)

Who we are

History of Paul’s Place The Paul’s Place journey began in 1995, when a group of friends led by Kath Aldom MBE, got together to form a club where physically disabled adults could meet to socialise. At first the club met once a month, but due to growing numbers and over a short space of time, the first ‘daily’ activities began with our first home at The Miners Social Club at Coalpit Heath. 

What we do:

Paul’s Place Daily: Based in Coalpit Heath in South Gloucestershire, we provide a programme of daily activities throughout the year that support adults with physical, cognitive and sensory impairments.

Paul’s Place Socials: We’re a sociable bunch, and we run a popular evening programme throughout the year. There’s something for everyone; with nights outs including trips to the pub, restaurants, cinema, theatre and bowling to name a few.

Short Breaks: Our short breaks give people the opportunity to enjoy a fully independent short break with the support of fully trained Paul’s Place staff. They also give carers and relatives the chance to relax whilst knowing that their loved one is safe and having fun.

Paul’s Place Boccia : Boccia is a fully accessible sport and at Paul’s Place our Boccia teams are run by disabled people with the support of Paul’s Place staff. We regularly promote the sport locally taking our love of Boccia into schools and colleges.

Our culture and values
