Fulfilling days
Pathway
Meaningful leisure and learning opportunities.
Our Pathway venues provide the space for empowering day activities for adults with Autism and Learning Disabilities. The programmes are developed with the feedback from those who use them, tailoring the sessions to the needs and wishes of the people we support. Beyond our own venues Pathway encourages community involvement, with trips out and about, and the support to access other local community groups. This is a place to build interests, confidence, and friendships.
Warwick Pathway
Running every Monday and Friday from 9:30 am - 3 pm, Warwick Pathway offers customers fun activities to support their needs and interests.
We listen to customers and their needs, building confidence and self-esteem through sessions that are rewarding, and fun, and promote independence. This enables customers to be creative; build on their existing skills, and learn new skills. Example activities include baking, gardening, up-cycling, crafting, swimming, healthy cooking, cycling, film-making, life skills, singing, walking, and customers’ choices.
Our staff are trained in working with adults with disabilities, focusing on person-centred support.
