Learning and development
We offer a range of opportunities for individuals to develop their skills across Bedfordshire, from structured day resources where individuals can be supported in developing independence skills, to vocational qualifications (ASDAN & NVQ), working in small cafes, tea rooms and coffee shops, supported employment, horticulture, animal husbandry, fabric crafts, newsroom reporting, learning about film (we have recently made our own 1-hour film!) and much much more!
All of our services are supported by friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff who are motivated to support and care for adults with learning disabilities across Bedfordshire.
