We offer support and encouragement in living, social and practical skills to
enable people with learning and physical disabilities to enjoy independent
lifestyles. Who We Are Enable (Sheffield) is a charity based training
organisation for people with disabilities. Our aim is to offer a quality care
and training opportunities to meet their individual needs. Our training areas
deliver themed subjects and topics relevant to suit our learner’s abilities and
skills. First opening for business in 1994, with the intention to make a
difference to the lives of people with disabilities in Sheffield. From the
offset we have always involved our learners in the decision making process, and
this is, we believe, the key to our success. Enable (Sheffield) has grown to
become a well established and renown training provider for disabled adults in
Sheffield, but began life in very humble beginnings. Founder Alan Finchett
rented a room in a local school, for disabled adults from the area to use,
initially repairing and recycling toys and bikes but gradually more activities
were added to the schedules. Within a year, with more learners attending, space
was getting tight so it was soon time to move to bigger premises. Skip along 8
years and demand was so great for places that work started on our purpose built
building. Exactly 10 years after starting, Enable was ready to move into their
new home. The centre has been designed specifically to meet the demands of
disabled people, offering a bright, spacious learning place for all.
