NEW! A range of exciting things happening in BRADFORD

We've opened exciting new opportunities in Bradford, these are:

The Learning Zone:

Based in the heart of a busy community and near to Bradford college and university, The Learning Zone provides an environment for people to access a wide range of learning opportunities, particularly beneficial to individuals who really wish to continue learning new skills and develop new areas of interest, but for whom an accredited college learning environment might not currently suit.

The Learning Zone provides a variety of courses, to support people with a learning disability to grow and personally develop.

Courses are taught by qualified external tutors and supported by PossAbilities staff, one to one if needed is also available to ensure everyone can participate and benefit. The Learning Zone covers a variety of subjects responsive to individual’s interests and knowledge.  We also work with local colleges and Workers Education Association who deliver training.

Supported employment and volunteering: Professional support and activities for those looking to transition to the world of work or volunteering.

E4 - A safe place to develop life skills

E4 Offers opportunities for people with learning disabilities to access their local community. We work in partnership with local services giving people the chance to be a real part of their community, joining community groups and supporting local events. This enables people to try new things whilst doing something worthwhile and contributing to local services.

The hub offers a safe place for people to have a voice, build on their life skills, develop confidence and socialise with their peers.

Springfield Garden

Springfield Gardens is a horticultural/conservation project for adults with a learning disability. Set on a 7acre site on the edge of Holmewood with orchards and growing plots. The people we support are involved in growing seasonal fruit and vegetables and selling them to the local community. We also provide handicraft/woodwork opportunities.  The people we support are also involved in looking after the animals we have on site.
