Huge donation! ⭐ We want to thank G G Broadhead Timber LTD who made and then donated this fantastic bench for our service users at day service.
The people we support at the Old Fire Station have loved having a new place to sit to enjoy their time outside in the lovely weather.
We couldn't do what we do without the support of our local communities.
Thank you! 💖

Today, many of our young people will be receiving their A-level results.
For some, it's an exciting time. For others, it raises a lot of questions on what comes next.
Whether you haven't received the results you were hoping for, or are simply unsure what options are available, our team is here.
If you have a diagnosis of autism or are seeking a diagnosis, our Employment coaches can help you figure out next steps for jobs, training or courses that suit you.
