Gateway Assured Learning Programme

Man tending to plants

We believe Independence Matters! 

We are passionately committed to valuing and supporting you to develop the skills you need to achieve and sustain the level of independence that is right for you.

We are constantly impressed with the brilliance of our customers and want you to be able to learn new skills and develop new interests with us.

We have an accredited learning programme that has been written specifically and specially for people with a learning disability. The programme is externally validated by Gateway Assured and this means they make sure our programmes make sense and that the achievements are quality assured.

You can work on all of a programme or part of it, and this can be a part of your support and care plan where we agree between us the outcomes we will work on, together.  We learn by doing, not by sitting in a classroom - so it's all very hands on!

We offer programmes in Independence, Employment, Project Planning, Horticulture, Community Safety, Wellbeing and Care, Brewing, Baking and Customer Service - there is lots to choose from and please do get in touch if you would like to know more.
