WELCOME TO PHAB-Leeds!
Prince Philip Centre PHAB Club Leeds
Leeds PHAB Club meets on Friday evenings between 7.00 and 9.15. The Club usually closes for 2 or 3 weeks for Christmas and Easter and 6 weeks during the summer.
It is a social gathering for people in Leeds with a physical or mild learning disability together with able-bodied friends.
People can join from 9 years and two of our members are over 86. It is an all-age Club. We have about 125 members both disabled and able bodied. PHAB members come from all parts of Leeds. PHAB’s aim is for 1 – 1 and we welcome more able-bodied ‘buddies’. We call it the PHAB family.
PHAB is a voluntary organisation. At our Friday evening PHAB Club our volunteers are assisted by qualified workers seconded from the local authority.
Friends of PHAB LEEDS
Friends of PHAB is the support group for the PHAB Club. This small group of volunteers, who are all PHAB members, raise funds to provide transport. They purchase and maintain four specially adapted minibuses, collect members from their homes and bring them to the PHAB Club. The Friends also raise funds to provide outings and residential holidays.
