We've brought so much joy to our members through a range of activities, we've outgrown our small shared venue and need a new home. A larger premises would enhance member experience and enable us to support more adults with learning difficulties, neurodiversity, mental health challenges and SEN.

Situation
Our small shared venue is at capacity for membership and only available three days a week. This means we are restricted on activity potential, have limited storage facilities and little autonomy on how we use the space or management on health and safety required for our members. There's also a lack of local council and government support and low awareness on the needs for adults with mild to moderate learning difficulties and neurodiversity nationally and locally - the forgotten ones.
Solution
Find a larger premises with adequate space, inside and out, to provide a wider range of activities and enable more flexible access for existing members and attract more members that need our support. Further space will also enable us to host events, outreach to the community and expand our awards scheme.
