About us
We have been providing services and support to people with a learning disability or autism and their families in Sheffield since 1951. Our vision is that all people with a learning disability and their carers in Sheffield are valued, included and respected
so they can live fair, full and happy lives.
Our services for children, adults and carers are person-centred and outcomes focussed. But what does this actually mean? Well, as an example, for members of our Activity & Learning Hub, we’ll carry out an assessment to find out what they enjoy, what skills they would like to learn, how they learn best, and what they would like to do with their new skills. This helps us to give the right support and opportunities, driven towards each person’s goals.
Similarly, our sports, health & fitness services are shaped to each member who uses them. Whereas someone may want to lose weight and become fitter, another person might want to increase their confidence and self-esteem. Either way, we will work with them to find the right activity or group to get them there.
And, when working with a carer for the first time, we will spend time getting to know the person and their family to understand what their greatest challenges are. T
The world doesn’t stand still, and neither do we. We are ambitious for the people we support and so, we are always looking to evolve our services and find new ways of helping our members to live better lives.
We innovate through collaborations with other third sector and statutory organisations, combining expertise and resources. We think creatively to develop sustainable models of support, and we respond to challenges faced by the learning disability community.
