Support in Derbyshire

The support we provide in Derbyshire is a little different. In Chesterfield, our Supported Living provision promotes independent living, and our learning hubs offer support and learning for adults with learning disabilities, enabling each individual to take part in meaningful activities with positive outcomes.

“The support we provide is person-centred, ensuring each individual is able to share their opinions and have their voice heard. Our Learning Centres open up so many opportunities for the people we support to get out and about in the local community and take part in different activities.”

- Merle Davis, Area Manager

Chesterfield is also the meeting place of Inspired 4 Training, a self-advocate group.
