Our facilities are designed to provide day care for adults with learning and social needs, supporting a wide range of needs and giving every visitor the freedom to take part in activities that suit them.

Safe and Welcoming

We believe the right environment makes a huge difference. So we have carefully developed each area of our centre to feel welcoming, calm and enjoyable for everyone. Creating enjoyable day care service experiences for whoever comes through our doors.

Our facilities support adults aged over 16 (no upper limit) with social needs to include Learning Disabilities, Autism, Physical and Mental Health needs to include Dementia. Everything has been designed with care. From our activity rooms to our sensory spaces. All to ensure people feel relaxed, engaged and well supported throughout their day.

Our centre is designed to be fully accessible, with wide access areas, level flooring and comfortable communal spaces. We want visitors to feel at ease as soon as they arrive. Our rooms are bright, welcoming and arranged to support both group activities and quieter moments.

We offer two large rooms that are used for arts and crafts, games, social time and structured group sessions. These spaces are flexible and can be adapted to suit the needs of the people attending each day. Whether someone prefers a lively group activity in our large rooms or a gentler calmer environment in our sensory, Rainbow or Garden Rooms we make sure there is the space that feels right for them.
