Community Inclusion Through Accessible Outings

Being part of Future Choices isn’t just about meeting indoors—it’s about being visible, active, and included in the biggest events happening across Aberdeen.

Thanks to our volunteer drivers, escorts, and accessible minibuses, our members get to take part in major regional celebrations side-by-side with the wider public.

Recent Event Highlights

Aberdeen Kiltwalk 2026

Team Future Choices proud and smiling at the 2026 Aberdeen Kiltwalk

In June 2026, Future Choices members and dedicated volunteers took part in the Aberdeen Kiltwalk. Using our accessible minibuses, we picked up members and headed to the start line at Cults Academy to wave off those taking on the route with volunteer support. The rest of the group then travelled on to Duthie Park to cheer everyone across the finish line, before the whole team came together to socialise and enjoy lunch.

Raising vital funds for our weekly hub and accessible transport, Team Future Choices proved that disability is no barrier to taking on a big challenge and having a brilliant day out.



The Tall Ships Races Aberdeen 2025

Future Choices members and volunteers group shot at the Aberdeen Tall Ships.

When the spectacular Tall Ships docked in Aberdeen, we made sure our members had a front-row view of the harbour festivities. Using Lady Lillian and Andy Pandy mini-buses for door-to-door accessible drop-offs right near the quayside, our group spent the day soaking up the maritime atmosphere, exploring the ships, and enjoying lunch together without having to worry about parking or public transport barriers.



Celebrate Aberdeen Parade

Every year, Celebrate Aberdeen brings thousands of people onto Union Street to honour the third-sector organizations and volunteers that make our city tick. Future Choices was proud to march and roll down the heart of Aberdeen behind our banner—celebrating our members, championing disability inclusion, and waving to the crowds lining the streets.
