Launchpad (Sw)

Launchpad is a day service which offers adults with learning disabilities the opportunity to develop employment, social and independent living skills within a safe and supported environment. It was set up in August 2017 and currently supports over 20 adults in both catering and horticulture. Trainees are encouraged to set their own goals, and are supported by staff and volunteers in the achievement of those goals. Progress and achievement are recorded in interactive 'CVs' made up of written material, photos and videos. If a trainee wishes to progress into employment, the Launchpad team will support them in every way possible, including liaising with potential employers, help to apply for a job, prepare for and attend an interview and support in starting work.
