Due to the rapidly changing COVID-19 situation, some of the organisations listed on here are still in the process of posting service updates. Many phone lines and websites are still available, but some contact details have changed. Try the organisation's own website if you're having difficulty getting through.

We are a Council run day service for adults with learning disabilities who need a high level of support - including help with personal care where needed.

The team work with individual service users (and their carers) to develop a personal support plan that includes their preferred activities and supports them to develop skills, knowledge and self-esteem to help maximise their potential.

The Service offers a programme of interactive, sensory and physical activities that helps develop independence, promote a healthy lifestyle. They make good use of nearby sports and leisure facilities to increase choice and ensure a community presence.

Referrals are accepted from social workers, people with NHS Continuing Healthcare funding and self-funders.
