About
Weekday WOW Factor

Here's what we stand for
↓

We co-design and deliver exciting leisure activities for people of all abilities to encourage an active lifestyle.
 We create opportunities for individuals to connect with others, gain new friendships, boost confidence, and help build new personal development skills.
We apply occupational therapy and social enterprise principles to adapt and tailor leisure activities by making them as physically and financially accessible as possible.
Our philosophy empowers us to co-design and create exciting and active leisure opportunities with community members and leisure providers, ensuring they are fully accessible and inclusive.
We are immersed in the principles of human rights, social justice and connectivity, courageously tackling stereotypes, stigmatisation and barriers. This unique blend of philosophy allows us to contribute to the public health agenda using leisure occupations.
Our core values are embedded in the work we deliver, establishing a fun and friendly experience filled with freedom. We ‘awaken the inner child’ to guarantee that your experience will be filled with laughter, zest, curiosity and learning!
We deliver the highest quality of service through our Occupational Therapy and Social Enterprise principles.
We are a Charity and Social Enterprise.
Through our Charity arm, we host subsidised and free projects in and around the Greater Glasgow areas that are funded by different bodies.
Through our Social Enterprise arm, we use all generated monies from our income streams to place back into the organisation once our core costs are covered.
