Based at Cromwell Road Day Centre, Grimsby, our day services provide a wide range of activities and support for adults with disabilities or complex needs.

Transition from full-time education into adult services can be a challenging and vulnerable time for young adults and their families. Without the right support, a young person may end up becoming isolated and not making the most of their adult life.

Our day services provide the support, activities and stimulation to help this transition as a young person moves into the next phase of their life.

Making positive choices and gaining new experiences

We believe in enriching lives through enjoyable activities and new experiences, and supporting people to access these new experiences whilst being sensitive to their individual needs.

Our day services offer each person so much more than just somewhere to spend the day; we provide a personal plan of activities that reflect their interests and preferences.

What is involved?

We start by creating a bespoke plan based around a person’s needs, likes and aspirations. We then tailor a plan of activities to suit what they enjoy and what they want to work towards. This could include therapeutic activities, community activities and social events.

We help people access activities they may not have otherwise had the opportunity to experience.

Support of an experienced team

At the heart of our service is our amazing team. Our staff are highly experienced and qualified to support people with profound sensory, physical and learning disabilities.

Our staff are trained to deliver care and support, including:

• PEG feeding
• Stoma care
• Rescue medication
• Medication administration
• Asthma inhalers
• Diabetes care
• Eating and drinking needs (such as mashed diet or soft chop)
• Moving and handling needs

Communication makes a huge difference to the quality of someone’s life, and we work closely with speech and language professionals to implement various communication methods and aids.
