About Us

Wigtownshire and Stewartry Action Support (WASP) is dedicated to developing a range of real opportunities for and with adults with additional support needs. These opportunities might be, for example, around social activities, being active, learning and developing new skills, working in both a voluntary and paid capacity, or simply having fun. 

The focus is on younger adults but there is no “cut off” in terms of age. There is also no level of disability or difficulty that you need to have to be involved. There’s again no referral process. If you think that you would benefit from the activities then great; if you have an idea for a new activity then also great.

WASP is led by the individuals and their families. All the activities on offer came from either the individuals or their families and going forward we will ensure that this approach is at the heart of everything we do.  

We are committed to making a real difference. That difference for WASP will only be achieved if our core values of ownership by the individuals and their families, full inclusion and seeing the abilities of all are maintained
