About Us
We believe that being engaged with the world is key to leading a full, happy and well life. To us, learning is experiences that allow us to engage with and understand ourselves and the world around us. Every year, we work with over 200 learning-disabled adults and young people, using our creative, joyful and inclusive approach to support them to thrive and reach their full potential.
Our approach uses creative activities (dance, drama, music, visual arts, literature), inclusive learning methods, and creates environments that involve and inspire learning-disabled people to engage with learning in a positive and beneficial way.
We work with learning-disabled people of all ages and support needs; our approach allows everyone to access our work in their own way and supports them to learn in the way that best suits them. We listen to learning-disabled people and shape our work around their wants and needs.
We pioneer creative, lifelong learning opportunities for learning-disabled people across Yorkshire.
We support learning-disabled people to engage with new experiences and reach their full potential.
Our experienced staff provide inclusive, fun, informal learning opportunities that are designed to be accessible to all.
Vision, Mission and Values

Our mission is to provide opportunities for learning-disabled people across Yorkshire to thrive through engagement with innovative, creative lifelong learning.
We are a value-led organisation, so whatever we do, we do it with humanity, passion, creativity and authenticity. We know that our work is helping to bring about a world where learning-disabled people are empowered to thrive. We take our values seriously, but don’t worry, we don’t take ourselves too seriously!
Humanity
We treat people with compassion and respect. We believe in people’s abilities and value the contributions of everyone equally. We work flexibly, tailor our approach to every individual and build safe and supportive communities where people are free to be themselves.
Passion
We believe in our vision, and understand how our day-to-day work gets us closer to the world we want to see. We bring enthusiasm, joy and a sprinkling of magic to work. We don’t settle, and are constantly striving to find better ways of doing what we do.
Creativity
We’re not afraid to do things differently. We’re inquisitive and open-minded. We love experimenting, learning, and coming up with new and innovative approaches. We’re experts at thinking on our feet, being imaginative and looking at things from a fresh perspective.
Authenticity
We’re motivated by a deep passion and belief in the impact of our work. We’re honest and genuine. We build real, long-lasting relationships with our participants, families and carers. We do what we say we will and own up to mistakes when we make them.
