What to Expect

Red2Green offer two regular day services:

Aspirations is a life skills programme for anyone over the age of 16 with autism spectrum conditions.

Working in small groups, they promote:

• Social contact
• Self awareness
• An understanding of others
• Strategies to cope with anxiety and anger management
• Independent living and employability skills

Attendees are supported to cope with everyday situations such as communications, relationships, work placements and work experience. Some learners, including those with university degrees, are supported to maintain a job. Red2Green can offer one-to-one or two-to-one service where appropriate but always work towards the highest level of autonomy possible.

Options is for people with learning disabilities with a wide range of ability levels and support requirements, including those with critical and substantial needs.

Red2Green promote:

• Independence
• Learning and maintaining key skills, life skills and appropriate behaviour
• Having fun and meeting new people

More Information

Aspirations runs under three groups - Education, Employment, Life Skills and Enrichment.
Sessions run Monday-Friday, from 10am-3pm.

Options sessions run Monday-Friday, from 9:30am-3:30pm.

Both services are available for 50 weeks of the year: Some people attend during term time, others just for the holidays, and some all year round. Term dates can be found on the service page here. The number of days a week that you attend is flexible and there are even half-day options to suit funding.

The Community Garden is available to all clients and some Options sessions will take place there. People with learning disabilities and a wide range of abilities are supported to participate in a variety of activities including planting and growing food crops (which link in to healthy eating and life skills), plant care and the joy of spending time outdoors.
