We help adults with learning disabilities develop confidence needed for employment and provide numerous opportunities for them to develop new skills.
Rambling in the countryside
Every week our walking club goes out on a refreshing walk to experience the scents, sights and sounds of natures best. Often visited locations include Epping Forest, Woodberry Wetlands and local parks.
Cycling
Our weekly biking club enables all our members, no matter their level of skills or abilities to experience the freedom of cycling. It is a much loved activity and the favorite of many.
Craft workshop
Our workshop provides numerous interesting and creative work opportunities for our members, including weighing, mixing, use of colour, fragrances, cutting, decorating, and a range of other artistic activities.
Music
Our clients love the delightful weekly music sessions. They sing along to their favourite songs. Their moods switch from dark to light and happiness and good cheer replace feelings of sadness and depression.
Cooking and Baking
Our cookery club teaches users vital skills to be able to independently cook their own meals. Every week a different recipe is explored and after the cooking is completed, clients delight in eating the food that they prepared themselves.
Services
Our work is based on evidence; impact assessments and service evaluations form an integral part of what we do. Our Helping Hand members help us to shape and enhance our services and as such each user periodically completes a short questionnaire after any activity they do with us.
Helping Hand is proud of its achievements; we received the Investors in People award 3 times running. The Quality Care Commission regularly inspects our homes too and have rated us Good in the most recent inspection.
