The Hub is a flexible provision, and we aim to build everything around you where we can.

All of our facilities are designed to meet the needs of people with very complex needs including those who need significant clinical support and supervision. Most of the people who attend have one-to-one or two-to-one support during the day.

Young Adult Transition

Leaving school or college is a huge milestone and we are here to support you with the next steps, making the journey as smooth as possible. Being open 50 weeks of the year means you will be able to join us during school holidays.

The Hub offers you a chance to meet friends, try out new activities, learn new skills, improve your health & wellbeing and become more confident in everyday life. 

We recognise that this gradual learning approach crafts a truly positive transition.

It’s never too early to start coming to the Hub, we support people from the age of 16, and you can pop along during the school holidays to try things out and see whether it fits for you.

We also offer a Holiday Club option if you are under 16, which is run in partnership with the Hub and plan to open a 16+ Holiday Club soon.

Specialist Support

Offering bespoke personal support, our expert teams are committed to creating packages that are shaped around you as an individual. Our highly skilled staff include clinical support from registered health practitioners, allowing us to deliver personalised support to meet even the most complex of needs.

Our flexible packages also offer the option for you to attend the Hub with your own Personal Assistant (PA) if you wish.

Expert support workers are recruited to match not only the support needs but also the personality and interests of the young person and their family.

Building and delivering support services requires incredible skill, patience and expertise not only from our frontline staff but also from the clinical specialists we work alongside.

Our community services teams have access to a network of highly skilled professionals in Positive Behaviour Support, Speech and Language Therapy, Physiotherapy, Rebound Therapy, Nursing and Intervenors.

Our Senior Leadership Team in the department oversees the work of these individuals and carefully designs input bespoke to each individual and the staff working with them.
