After the very difficult experiences of 2020, vulnerable people with learning disabilities need a fresh start. With new ways of working to reflect the challenges of covid-19, we'll help the people we support to come to terms with their trauma, reset aspirations in life, and restore wellbeing in 2021

Situation
Lockdown left vulnerable people confused and traumatised. Recovery has been slow from isolation, with poor mental health and wellbeing. Our day opportunities work spaces are not now all fit for purpose, largely due to furniture which doesn’t allow social distancing. We do not have sufficient equipment and materials for single person usage. More staff support is required to develop mental health and wellbeing programmes and provide more individual attention to support people to stay safe.
Solution
To make 2021 a fresh start for everyone, we have to adapt for safe small group work at our venues, and provide focused support from home. Our site will become a Wellbeing Centre, with covered outdoor workspaces, refurbished rooms, furnished and equipped for activities accommodating social distance and improving wellbeing. Increased staffing and training will provide focused support to meet more individual needs both on site and from the home.
