We coped through COVID
We offer flexible, tailored provision to meet each client’s specific needs, interests, and learning goals. Services are available Monday to Friday, year-round or during term breaks, from single days up to five days a week. We provide a free taster day to assess individual needs, followed by an experience assessment and feedback session to help create the ideal schedule.
Clients enjoy a light breakfast (hot drink, toast, yogurt, or fruit) and a choice of two healthy home-cooked lunches or a jacket potato/toastie. You can also bring your own. We cater to all dietary needs. Weekly menus are client-chosen for healthy, wholesome meals, with themed international dishes on Wednesdays.
We Laugh, We Learn, We Live
We promote independence, choice and social inclusion through all activities and events we host. We hold social and interpersonal skills to be key to the service we provide.
