Empower

Empower provides support and development service to adults (16+) who are living with a learning disability or have additional support needs.

Day services where people will be supported to experience learn a variety of independent living skills. Our service works in line with the themes of the Keys to life learning Disability Strategy and covers aspects including health, travel, literacy and community inclusion.

Activities are designed that create a sense of belonging, encouraging them to take part, learning but having fun at the same time.

The Empower Team
Learning work skills with empower

Our service users are at the centre of everything that we do. Everyone at Empower has their own Support and development plan. The plan allows a person to set individual goals and lets us know how best we can support the individual to achieve these.

Support is delivered in a group setting, with each individual goals considered on how they can work towards their outcomes within the activity.

Service users are consulted regularly and assist in the design of activities. Feedback on enjoyment and learning is recorded at every session.

Successes are recorded and recognized. Plans are received every six months with the service users and their supports (family, friends or formal supporters).
