What we do

We offer a safe inclusive environment where clients are able to learn at their own pace and level. Our programmes are educational and include the development of personal and social skills which are essential to help clients make a productive contribution to community life.  

​

Each Individual will have a personal progress and achievement plan, and will work with staff to ensure any changing needs or targets are met.

Clients are encouraged to try new things and always have a go!
