Our transition services aim to provide tailored support to enable people to move into a community-based setting when they have acquired the confidence and have a support structure to make a positive move. Our aim is for people to gain in confidence and independence and to build their social and communication skills. Our support teams use a structured approach to help each person to develop their full potential. We create tailor-made programmes of activities reflecting people’s interests and needs, these are carefully structured and balanced to give a mix of learning and leisure, while meeting agreed outcomes.
At home, each person has their own schedule which encourages them to become more self-sufficient. It includes household chores such as shopping, cooking and independent living skills, and leisure activities such as visiting the pub, swimming, going to the gym or going for a walk.
If required, people can access a wide range of leisure and vocational activities at the North Somerset Centre in Weston-Super-Mare, and take day and evening courses at nearby Bridgwater College.
