We have a wide range of Impact Projects to choose from...

Peer Support Programme

The aim of our Peer Support Programme is to work with learning disabled and autistic adults, and their families and carers in Bristol and South Gloucestershire to enable a greater number of people to live more independent lives.

- Growing Independence is a meet up group for service users that meets every over month at different places in the community to talk, support each other, and put new skills into practice.

- Our Nurturing Independence group provides parents/carers with the information they need to start planning for the future, as well as emotional and practical support so that families can start to plan with confidence. We share the experience and advice of parents who have already made the journey to independence for their son/daughter and give people the time, space and opportunity to meet and talk with like minded parents and carers.

Training

We run training for service users on many subjects, including:

- Basic Kitchen Skills 
Sessions are designed to give participants the basic skills, knowledge and confidence in the kitchen.

- Relationships and Sexual Health 
Sessions provide participants with information to enable them to make safe and smart choices in their relationships.

- Bite-size Training
We have bite-size training on a wide range of topics. These small group, half day sessions enable people to pick and choose which subjects they wish to learn.

You can see all our planned sessions by visiting our Ticket Tailor page, which we will be updating regularly. Sessions can be easily booked and paid for via Ticket Tailor using the QR code below, or by clicking on the link here.
