Charity of the Month

Disabled people don’t have the same opportunities as their non-disabled peers to engage in activities that will help them attain the life skills they need in making the transition into adulthood. This means they miss essential experiences their non-disabled peers take for granted. For disabled people the building of this foundation can take longer and requires additional support to achieve a healthy transition.

Thomley enhances the well-being of disabled people through delivering activities that helps develop the skills they need to run their day-to-day lives.

• Anna Capitani and the team at Thomley talk us through all the good the centre offers.

• Georgia benefits from the centre.
