North Somerset Centre
Our North Somerset centre is based in Weston-Super-Mare and we provide opportunities for individuals on the spectrum to attend sessions on either a 1:1 or 1:2 support ratio or in a 1:3 group setting, depending on the needs of the individual. We aim to create a framework of goals and objectives for individuals who attend the sessions to enable them to work on achieving meaningful outcomes. We offer the opportunity to access the centre from a minimum of a half day session to a full time programme and the bus stop is a 5 minute walk from the centre.

Outcome led programmes designed to meet the specific development needs of each individual. Activities range from woodwork, gardening, forest school activities, cooking, Art, Information Technology and Music and many more individualised sessions. - Work Skills:
We offer support with gaining employment including help with writing CV’s and completing application forms, to help with accessing volunteering opportunities that the individual may be interested in. This can include help to gather information or supporting the individual in the position. - We offer the opportunity to work towards the recognised ASDAN awards in independent living skills.
- The centre is linked to a local professional photographer and together we offer photography wellbeing sessions. Meeting the photographer at an agreed location individuals are provided the opportunity to enjoy a walk whist engaging in photography to learn and develop new skills including printing.
- There is a singing group which is accessible every fortnight on a Tuesday afternoon.
- There is scope to explore new activities and experiences therefore referrals are welcomed and these will be explored.
