Partnership project with Rotherham Council where we developed a range of community options for, and led by, people with a learning disability and/or autistic people.
There were two main strands to the project:
Work started in February 2017 with varied taster sessions which enabled people who attend day centres to try different activities in the community before progressing on to the different parts of the project above.
As a result of the community micro-enterprise development programme, people with a learning disability now have an extensive range of community-based support options to choose from, helping people to have new experiences, form and maintain friendships and networks, contribute to their community and gain volunteering and work opportunities.
The People Can Project supported individuals or small groups to do their own thing and take a lead on what matters to them. This has led to some fantastic projects and one person setting up their own business.
Across all aspects of the project, the focus has been on supporting people’s ideas, aspirations and passions. Read this short end-of-project report for a quick summary.
