Rebound Therapy is held at the Saturn V Rebound Hall, a specialist trampolining centre for adults and children with learning difficulties, disabilities and other special needs.
It was set up in 1993 with the aim of offering physical exercise in the form of Rebound Therapy and trampolining to people who could not attend a mainstream club.
The centre is run by Paul and Shirley Kaye who are both BTF/BG qualified coaches and Rebound Therapy coaches and course tutors. They were mentored, validated and approved by the founder of Rebound Therapy - Eddy Anderson.
The centre is
approved by the local authority who in 1998 donated £5,500 towards the cost of
refurbishing the disabled toilets and safety equipment. In 2000 the council made a further
grant for the purchase of specialist equipment. Further substantial grants have been made
by Seeboard Energy and the Whyteleafe Round
Table to pay for insulation and double glazing in order to conserve heat and energy. In 2007, Surrey Community Action made a substantial grant for the purchase of additional equipment for the centre.
Daytime special needs activities are mainly for day centres, care homes and special needs schools. Evening special needs activities are mainly for children with learning difficulties who are brought by their parents.
Local organisations who bring users to the centre include Surrey and Borders Partnership, National Autistic Society, Ashcroft Care Services, Gresham Care, Clifton Hill School, as well as many independent care homes.
The Saturn V Rebound Hall is believed to be the busiest trampoline centre in the country run for the benefit of people with disabilities. It has 3 full size trampolines with a padded wall and safety end decks.
Sessions are generally for an hour and are at a specified time each week. Some organisations attend more than once a week. Several users at a time can attend the session, the actual number depends on the type of disability involved.
