Skills for Life

Our Skills for Life programme offers people with disabilities a range of monthly, Saturday morning, community based inter-active workshops on a range of themes to aid independent living.

Themes include:

  • Money management
  • Planning a day out
  • Healthy eating
  • Staying safe on social media
  • Staying safe at home
  • Staying safe in the community
  • Cleaning your home
  • Using public transport
  • Managing relationships
  • Supermarket shopping on a budget
  • Men's health
  • Women's health

Workshop themes are responsive to the needs identified, and shared with us, by our beneficiaries and their support teams to ensure that they are relevant to helping people be as independent as they can, and want to be.

Click HERE to find out how to join in.

Please note that our Skills for Life programmes are currently only available via Zoom whilst restrictions are imposed as part of the Coronavirus pandemic.
