Why we are here
Founded in 2013 because we recognised that after leaving school or college some adults with a learning disability needed worthwhile and meaningful activities to participate in. Here at New Directions support, we offer an extensive programme of activities to choose from and meet a wide variety of needs. Whilst with us many individuals try activities that they wouldn’t usually experience if at home often thriving and learning new skills. We promote choice, self-advocacy and inclusion. Our well-trained staff deliver the well-planned sessions which suit all of the group and deliver them in a fun way
