About PIP

Based at Parkside in Aldershot, the programme provides opportunities to develop skills, build confidence, enjoy new experiences and spend time with others in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Everyone has different interests, abilities and goals. PIP provides a varied programme of activities designed to encourage participation, independence, wellbeing and social connection.

Activities take place at Parkside and within the local community, giving people opportunities to try new things, develop existing skills and enjoy meaningful experiences alongside others.
