Based in Stockport, Jump Space is a specialist recreation centre providing Trampolining, Rebound Therapy and Active/Sensory play to disabled and non-disabled people of all ages. Our fully accessible HQ caters for groups and individuals with a wide range of impairments. All sessions are led by highly trained staff. You can join one of our weekly classes, come to a drop in, or book a group/ 1:1 session. We cater for individuals, families, groups, schools, colleges, residential homes and referral units.
Jump Space’s specially adapted centre has four trampolines, an accessible play area and large sensory room. It provides a safe, fun, understanding and non-judgemental environment to play for disabled people and creates a supportive social space for everyone who comes in. Our unique provision means that siblings can enjoy trampolining sessions alongside their brothers and sisters while parents and carers can chat and network.
Our charitable aims and objectives state that we want to provide opportunities to people with disabilities “allowing them to enjoy physical recreation in a safe, accessible and understanding environment” through offering “facilities for sport and recreation for groups or individuals who, for reasons of disability, impairment or social isolation, may have been otherwise excluded or deterred from accessing other clubs and activities.”

The centre has onsite parking with further parking on the street which is free. There is an accessible toilet with changing bed and track hoist. Inside the centre there is a track hoist in our sensory room, and a mobile hoist in the gym enabling access to the trampolines and swing. The separate 1:1 room also has a track hoist. Upstairs is our Rest/Bite cafe. This area has vending machines serving hot and cold drinks and snacks. People are welcome to use this area outside of their booked session too.
In a session in the main gym, participants work with coaches on the trampolines and are progressively taught a wide range of skills using a range of communication methods. When not on the trampolines, they are able to choose between activities: the slide, the swing, soft play and the sensory room.
The 1:1 space provides a different experience. If you book the 1:1 room, you are the only people working with the Rebound Therapist and have the small room to yourself. In the 1:1 room, there is a trampoline with lights and other equipment for use in the session. There is no access to the main gym as part of your session.

What is Rebound Therapy?
Rebound Therapy is an intensive 1:1 technique that comprises the therapeutic use of trampolines to provide opportunities for movement, exercise and recreation for people with additional needs. Physically, it helps to increase strength, stamina, balance and co-ordination. It can also aid confidence-building, communication and social skills.
We can offer Rebound Therapy within all our classes and drop in sessions.
We also can offer our 1:1 room for those wishing to access Rebound Therapy in a more private space.

What are the benefits of the play area?
The soft play area has been designed to support the development of movement through play. Some of our soft play items are bespoke, designed to be big enough for adults to use as well as children. The soft play area allows free play, encouraging balance, rolling, jumping, object control, coordination and teamwork. This allows for further proprioceptive, vestibular, tactile and sensory input. The play also supports development of social skills, communication and promotes independence.
The swing, with the full support seat in three different sizes, can also be hoisted into. It has a 5 point harness. The wide padded slide is also popular!
You may also find one of our volunteers working in the play area. Their peer support, as they initiate and join in with games, is invaluable for many.
