Connecting with the Community

There are many services in the wider community that can offer essential support for young people with learning disabilities.

Similarly young people with high support needs often have a range of skills that they are keen to offer.

We have found that Community Connectors can help match a person’s aspirations with available opportunities in the local area and help build meaningful relationships.

We are currently helping small, third sector organisations including schools, colleges and groups of family carers, create a Community Connecting service or develop their current level of support.
