Ø One-to-one support in the home
Ø One-to-one support in the community

Our funds are raised through our support service, grants, donations, membership subscriptions and fundraising events. We have a team of 7 support workers providing one-to-one support for people to access community and leisure activities, education and work opportunities and to increase independence in their home. We intend to increase the number of support workers by two this year and support 2 more clients. As an agency we undertake to support adults with a learning disability but within this remit our client group is diverse and includes young people, older people and people with mental health issues or physical disabilities.

Dear all
As of 2 nd of April 2026 dance and drama cost will now be £10 per session . This works out to be £3.33 per hour which is still a reasonable cost .
Due to rising costs we need to raise the cost of the 3 hour session.
We would also like to start the sessions from 615 pm and not 630 pm due to the many wonderful people performing
We hope you can still attend the session as we do have a lot of fun and you all perform so marvellously .
Debbie will hand out letters for you all to take home .
If you know anyone who would like to attend please pass on this information
King regards
Debbie x

Join us for a very special afternoon!

On Saturday, 25th April, we're hosting a Sponsored Walk & Tea Party at the Roger Morris Centre, Eastrop Park, and we'd love to see you there!

From 3:30 to 6:30pm, we'll be walking together around the park, followed by games, music from our very own DJ Conway, and a tea party spread, sandwiches, cakes, crisps, tea, coffee, squash, and fizzy drinks available to buy on the day. 🎂🥪

All money raised will go towards our upcoming coach trip to Longleat, helping to reduce the cost for our service users, so every step really counts! 💛

Entry is just £6 per person. Come along, bring a friend, and help us make it a day to remember!
