Adults
Have a look below at some of the services we offer to adults…
Befriending
We offer a sitting and befriending service to Nottingham City and County for clients with a range of learning disabilities. We support both adults and children over the age of 5 years old. Support is available either in the client’s home or out and about in the community. This could include, for example, trips to the cinema, walks in a park, swimming, trips to the shops etc. Our aim is to offer the client the opportunity to access activities and social experiences to build their life skills, self-confidence and self-esteem. We help to develop basic life skills in the home and community, including independent travel training and making healthy lifestyle choices.
This service also gives the parents, carers and their families some respite time and an additional source of support.
If you have a dependent turning 18 within the next couple of years we can offer you support through transition from child services to adult services and signpost you to the appropriate agencies.
Digital Inclusion
We are leading projects supporting those who struggle with becoming digital users to use tablets to access the internet. For more information follow the link below.
Lifestyle Choices
Each day in the week is an opportunity to learn, make friends, express yourself, and get active here at Nottingham Mencap.
We are open from 09:30 - 15:00 Monday to Friday for adults living in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. We can provide 1-2-1 support if needed too depending on need.
We are proud of what we do here and have trained learning disability tutors delivering sessions which are varied, educational, and fun. Not only that, we try and push boundaries to allow the people we support to reach their potential.
Activities range from arts and crafts, story telling, drama, independent life skills such as cooking, IT training, history and training (online safety, how to report hate crime etc). We have also recently started a swim and gym session in the community and sports activities too.
We deliver our day time provision from two locations; Harpenden House in Sherwood and St. Wilford’s Church Hall in Wilford, Rushcliffe. We are currently developing services in Wilford, as this is a new venture, but have a timetable for Harpenden House below.
