Day Services
Many people join us at the Project during the week to take part in the varied, stimulating and purposeful activities that we provide.
Our day services are vital for people with learning disabilities as they provide opportunities to:
- Connect with the community
- Make friends, therefore reducing isolation
- Learn new skills
- Promote independent living
- Achieve ambitions
- Have fun!
In addition daytime activities give carers and family members some respite from caring.
All students who come to the Minstead Training Project have the opportunity to take part in a diverse range of daytime learning experiences. Non-residential students can choose to attend as little or as often as they wish—from one half day a week to five days a week (subject to availability).
Transport to and from Totton is included in the daily rate.
Currently we offer sessions in:
Independent Living Skills Training Sessions
Animal husbandry & rural studies
We are open to suggestions from students and will always try to meet individual needs, aspirations and interests. If you have a particular request for an activity which we do not currently provide, feel free to ask whether we can organise it.
Meals
Individuals who join us for a whole day receive a meal at lunchtime and refreshments. Meals are home cooked by our team of professionals and students. Fruit and vegetables are sourced from the Lodge’s walled vegetable garden when possible.
Mealtimes are communal, with everyone – staff, visitors and students – meeting in the dining room to share food, conversation and laughter.
