RelatABLE: Community Participation

Our Community Participation programme is designed to extend participants confidence and independence so that they can form and maintain relationships with groups and friends within the community.

Our Founding Principles

When a service user completes school, their first experience with us is our Community Participation programme.

These are the programme’s founding principles:

01.

To promote individual choice.

02.

 

To encourage and enable full inclusion in society.

03.

To provide support & guidance to participants accessing their community.

04.

To empower participants so that they are included in society.

Activities include:

• Film afternoons

• Work experience/training

• Art & crafts

• Community outings

• Swimming

• Sports

• Money skills

• Life skills workshop

• Computer skills

• Basic cooking lessons

• Healthy eating

I like the people here: Gemma, Sheenal, Mark, John.

Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Attainable.  You have made this year so special for my brothers.  I am truly grateful.  For Scott especially, he loves his Monday workday in the factory and it has brought new friends and real meaning to his life.

If I didn’t work I would get bored staying at home. Attainable gives me a place to go. If I stay home I will eat and get fat.
