sapphire project organisation
London
The Sapphire Project Organisation is an exciting new modern-day service for
adults age 18 and over living with a learning disability. We want to understand
what people want from their support, and to make sure that families and friends
know how we will help them to make it happen. We offer a unique learning
environment for our service users and although support needs may differ, we know
that with the right support, people with learning disabilities can live full and
meaningful lives. Aims Our aim is for service users to develop competence,
respect, dignity, responsibility, independence and to promote their inclusion
within the local working community. Working closely with service users we aim to
find out what their passions are and wherever possible assist with overcoming
challenges and removing barriers in order to enable them to live more fulfilling
lives. What we offer Service users are offered the opportunity to develop
transferable work skills, enterprise skills, independence skills, practical
skills and social skills all within a variety of settings while being supported
by qualified staff. Our project includes a café, a licensed bar and a kitchen
garden all of which is open to the general public. We also offer a opportunities
to develop general maintenance and wood working skills. Service users also have
the opportunity to carry out a number of routine domestic tasks to help develop
their independent living skills. These include, planning and shopping, cooking
meals, basic housekeeping, getting out and about in the community and
residential experiences. We support people in developing work and independence
skills whilst having fun and making friends. Our aim is to break down barriers
and to promote inclusion within the local community. What Makes Us Unique? We
want to offer people the chance to learn valuable life skills along with work
skills and our base at Hillsborough Arena provides us with numerous
opportunities to achieve this objective. We offer an attractive,
non-institutional environment with a team of committed staff with a very low
rate of staff turnover, so people can develop strong, beneficial relationships
over many years. We also offer a dedicated key worker to overlook and support
the needs of both the service user along with the parent/carers. We want to
understand what people want from their support, and make sure that families and
friends know how we will help them to make it happen. If you think our project
would suit your needs we would invite you to come and have a look around and
make an arrangement to spend a couple of days with us.
