Create provides term-time, weekly group for young people with learning disabilities. It's a safe, creative, supportive space for young people to develop their social and communication skills, confidence and self-esteem through real friendships. 28 young people aged 8-18 were involved in the Create project last year.
Trained, experience workers support young people to devise a programme of inclusive, fun, physical and creative activities. Those aged 8-12 meet at 5pm and 13-18 year olds meet at 7.30pm. Groups are for 90 minutes.
A mentor is a trusted adult that a young person gets to know over a long time - perhaps as long as a year - helping young people to understand and learn from the challenges they face, try new things and make the changes in their life that they want to make.
Emotional Health Workers provide support to young people using a range of activities and tools, meeting young people where and when works best.
