for people with additional needs
Connect&Create
​
Connect & Create is a dynamic programme of creative group sessions for adults with additional needs ages 16 plus
​
We run day sessions 10.00am to 2.00pm Monday to Friday, all year round, delivered from our Connect Centre
​
We also run group outings as part the Connect & Create service, including a youth club, family stay and plays in the school holidays, and our monthly Big Night Out
​
These sessions are designed to enhance social opportunities for adults with additional needs on the island, while also providing worthwhile and meaningful projects for each participant to engage with. Timetables are flexible based on the individual requirements of each service user
Connect & Create sessions currently consist of:
​
fortnightly social nights for teens with additional needs aged 13-18
monthly group outings for adults with additional needs aged 16 plus
school holiday meet ups for disabled children and their families
