Situation
INDIVIDUALS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES DO NOT HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES THAT THOSE IN MAINSTREAM SOCIETY TAKE FOR GRANTED. LOCAL CARE SERVICES OFFER DAY CENTRE ATTENDANCE, PERHAPS WORKING IN A CHARITY SHOP ETC, BUT WE HAVE SEEN THE NEED FOR A PROGRAMME THAT OFFERS SOMETHING DIFFERENT WHICH CHALLENGES AND STRETCHES THE INDIVIDUAL CONCERNED
Solution
THE PROJECT WILL OFFER WORKSHOP-STYLE ACTIVITIES WHICH WILL CHALLENGE INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANTS AND HELP THEM TO ACHIEVE MORE OF THEIR POTENTIAL. UNDERTAKING THIS PROGRAMME GIVES THEM A RENEWED SENSE OF CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM, ENABLES THEM TO LEARN NEW SKILLS AND TO WORK WITH OTHERS. FOR SOME IT WILL BE TO SIMPLY ENGAGE WITH AN ACTIVITY WHEN THEY HAVE NOT ENGAGED WITH ANYTHING IN THE PAST.
