Our adult day service supports 20 young people and adults with CE programmes, life skills, and meaningful activities.
About Our Day Service
Day Service Offer
Our Adult Day provision is based at our Smithy Wood building. We currently support 20 young people and adults, all of whom have a variety of needs but whose primary need is a physical disability. Our provision runs from 8:45am to 3:30pm each day, excluding bank holidays and a few additional shutdown days over the Christmas period.
Our service users, supported by our fantastic team of staff, engage in a range of different activities throughout the day. Each day is carefully planned to ensure everyone’s needs are met — so at any one time there is a range of different activities on offer.

What's On Offer Each Day
The activities below run across the week, planned around each person’s goals and abilities.
Physical Programmes
Our priority is to ensure everyone is engaged and enabled to be as independent as possible throughout the day. Across the week, individuals take part in physical programmes (task series) as well as passive movement programmes.
Service users are encouraged to actively participate wherever appropriate, with each programme planned so the individual is challenged in a supportive way — always experiencing success along the way.
Independent Living Skills
Service users develop their independent living skills through a range of practical activities, including:
- Shopping
- Budgeting
- Cooking and baking
They are encouraged to use the physical skills learned through their CE programmes to take part in a meaningful way.
Multi-Sensory Experiences
For service users with more multi-sensory needs, we provide opportunities to learn and develop in ways that are motivating and engaging.
Our expert team plan activities, often linked to the topic or theme of our wider service, to ensure everyone has the opportunity to be fully included.
Trips, Visits & Wider Opportunities
We aim to access activities within our wider community as much as possible — inviting people in to see us, or getting out and about. Trips are planned around each individual’s needs, and recent examples include:
- Bowling
- Theatre visits
- Yorkshire Wildlife Park
We also love working with others, running sessions with musicians, artists and small-animal companies.
Work-Related Opportunities
Being creative is something we particularly enjoy — and we love to reap the benefits of what we make. Together we create a range of items, from greetings cards to small gifts, and whenever we can we sell our produce, reinvesting the profits back into our enterprise.
We also bake and cook in preparation for our much-loved coffee mornings, held three times a year.
