Key Enterprises

Who we are

Sometimes discovering who you are in the world is harder than it should be.

For over 40 years Key Enterprises has supported people with learning disabilities/difficulties, mental health needs and/or acquired brain injuries to unlock their full potential. At Key, we encourage service users to explore their passions and develop new skills, without limitation.

We offer something for everyone, regardless of ability, in an inclusive and encouraging environment. Our weekly programme of activities includes everything from drama sessions to gardening!

3. Better wellbeing – Contribute towards the greater wellbeing of people that use our services.
4. Increased Opportunities - Enable social participation by providing opportunities to enage in social, cultural and educational activities.

Person Centred – ensuring that the individual needs of anyone accessing Key Enterprises are met.

Responsive – ensuring our services are fit for purpose, valued and driven by need.

Transparent – ensuring stakeholders know, feel part of and understand how we operate.
