ELHAP (Every Life Has A Purpose) supports over 600 children, young people and adults with disabilities from across East London. Most have learning disabilities and autism, and many have other complex needs. Based in over 5 acres of woodland, with a vast adventure playground, ELHAP gives disabled and disadvantaged children the chance to "just be kids." They can fly through the air on the zip wire, get muddy, cook over an open fire, build dens and go on bug hunts, as well as take part in art, yoga, dance, drama and horticulture workshops. ELHAP also works with adults, helping them develop skills, connect with the local community, and explore their options for the future.
