Our Lifelong Learning Programmes are for adults with learning disabilities and autistic people. Our specialist staff use creative methods such as art, drama, music, movement and multi-sensory activity to make learning fun and accessible, exploring a wide range of different topics based on a yearly theme.
Our theme for 2020/21 is Adventure!
Covid-19 Response
We know how important it is for people to stay active, engaged and stimulated while our Lifelong Learning Programmes are closed. With that in mind:
- We’re running 15 group Zoom sessions a week – as well as our adapted Lifelong Learning Programmes, we’re also running music, drama, literature, movement and visual art Zoom sessions every week.
- We’re posting daily activities on our website, in line with our weekly theme; you can do them all at home, using resources that you should be able to find around the house and garden. Please visit our Daily Activities page to take part!
- Our fabulous Programme Leader Lorna has been illustrating some beautiful colouring pages to go along with the weekly theme of our Daily Activities. You can see them all here. They’re free to download and print as many times as you want!
- And we’re also running a Zoom disco on the first Thursday of every month from 7pm – 8.30pm. Join DJ James as he spins some classic tunes!
