Our Day Service

Our Day Service is a non-residential service that is registered with our Local Authority.  The service is delivered from our accessible Day Centre on the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Campus as well as from hubs in the local community. 

The Day Service is available to individuals 16+ with a range of support needs, including physical disabilities, learning disabilities and Autism.

Each citizen follows their own unique timetable and works towards independent goals while accessing the service.

A full range of meaningful activities are provided throughout the week enabling citizens to develop skills in those particular areas. There may also be an opportunity to complete a National Citizen Service programme onsite at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­. 

We are open Monday to Friday from 9am – 4pm, 50 weeks a year. 

Our Reputation

Our Day Service has a strong reputation for being a happy, safe place for people with disabilities to learn new skills, develop confidence and really thrive.
