Community Projects are co-designed by the young people themselves. Our young people should decide what their tomorrow looks like. So with their ideas, hopes and aspirations we work with a network of local community partners to make it happen.
Below you’ll find more information about our current Community Projects on offer
Lifeworks Short Breaks
Lifeworks offer a variety of rich and rewarding short breaks for children and young people with learning disabilities. We understand how vital short breaks are for families. All of our short breaks are designed around the needs of the children and young people
Breaking the Barrier
Experience the thrill of catching a wave and maybe even standing on a surf board. Or see the joy of siblingss cycling together in tandem for the first time. Breaking the Barrier makes sport easy and enjoyable for young people with learning disabilities and their families to take part in. It gets people together to have fun with sport in a supported environment, surrounded by people willing them on.

The Holiday Project provides short break adventures during the school holidays for young people with learning disabilities aged 12-17. It offers opportunities for fun, friendships and new experiences with a skilled staff team.
Saturday Enrichment Groups
Our Groups are split into THREE groups

Our Groups offers young people with learning disabilities a chance to make friends, experience the new, take the lead, get involved in community life and most importantly have a great time. The Groups offers supported activities and trips, helping members make friends, develop life-skills whilst having the best time.
Extraordinary Young People
It is not always easy for young people with a learning disability to get a job and we want to change this. Extraordinary Young People or EYP as it’s known helps young people with learning disabilities to gain skills and experience to lead to a brighter future.
