Aberdeen-based indoor adventure park Jump In recently hosted its inaugural rebound and trampoline festival for pupils with additional support needs (ASN).

A collaborative partnership between Sport Aberdeen’s Active Schools team, Live Life Aberdeenshire’s Active Schools team, Grampian Disability Sport, Scottish Disability Sport and Jump In brought the event to life, after it had been postponed from April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The event itself took place on Wednesday 27 April, with a morning session from 1015 to 1200 and an afternoon session from 1230 to 1400.

86 pupils with additional support needs gathered from across the city and shire for the festival, which was completely free to attend.

Grant Wilson, Active Schools Operations Manager at Sport Aberdeen, said: “This festival demonstrates the positive impact of partnership working – bringing new activity opportunities to children and young people with additional support needs across the city and shire.  

“The smiles on their faces told the whole story; it was clear they had lots of fun and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.”
