"I am very encouraged to hear of the work that is being undertaken by Out & About. It is really important for disabled young people to be able to take part in mainstream activities in their local community and something we are keen to promote. It can make a huge difference to the young people involved." Rt Hon Ed Balls MP, Secretary of State, Department for Children, Schools and Families

"CDC is proud to work with Out & About and with the children and young people it supports. We have been struck by the positive engagment of young people and the fact that being part of Out & About really builds confidence in them and strengthens their place in the community".  Christine Lenehan OBE, Director, Council for Disabled Children.

"Out & About are a fantastic charity full of energetic, enthusiastic people who really make a positive difference to the lives of so many disabled children and young people in Suffolk.  Their commitment and passion just can’t help rubbing off on everyone they meet.  The joy they bring to the children they help is measured in smiles and laughter."  Andrea Hill, Chief Executive, Suffolk County Council.

"Out & About make a great impact in the lives of disabled children and young people and their families by ensuring that they can access the range of leisure and learning activities available to all other youngsters. Out & About do this by brokering choices with the young people and then supporting both them and the community provider to ensure this is a genuinely inclusive process. This is helping to develop inclusive provision and access, more generally, not just for individuals." Simon White, Director for Children and Young People, Suffolk County Council.

"Out & About are in the foreground of a wider shift in charities towards services that are people-centred and firmly rooted in the principle of equal access to the community for disabled people. They are well led, well-managed and ambitious about what they do. I find them very exciting." Craig Dearden-Phillips, Chief Executive, Speaking Up.

"Out & About has a great record of helping disabled young people in Ipswich and across Suffolk. Advice they give to leisure providers also improves the services that can be enjoyed by all disabled people in the area. The Lloyds TSB Foundation is delighted to help them expand their operations so more young people can benefit from their work." David White, Grant Manager, Lloyds TSB Foundation.
