The service assists with the young adult’s career prospects as well as caring for their personal needs. The service support the transition from education to adult services.   Blackfriars have linked up with Sutton Trust Community Group and use the facilities down at the Betty Rushton Community Garden. On average they bring 8 clients a week which enables there clients to have somewhere to relax in a warm, comfortable and quiet environment. With the added benefit of our on site classroom it enables them to come all year round.   Bringing clients out into the community garden helps to increase their awareness and enables them to interact and work alongside others outside the day centre environment. They learn not just how to plant flowers but what makes them grow. What resources they need and with the specially designed raised beds for wheelchair users they can grow just about anything.   Click thumbnail to enlarge Website by: Tams.
