Education and Skill Development Support
At Achieve together, we are dedicated to empowering individuals to grow, achieve greater independence, and actively engage within their communities. Our Education and Skill Development Support, offered through our Day Services, provides a comprehensive range of programs and activities tailored for adults with learning disabilities, autism spectrum conditions, and complex needs. We focus on creating a supportive and inspiring environment where everyone can reach their full potential.
Our approach
Our approach is designed to offer personalised support that promotes both personal development and community integration. We achieve this through a variety of practical and skills-based workshops, accredited courses, and community-based activities.

Core areas of skill development
Our Day Services programs are structured around several key areas:
Life skills training
We offer essential life skills training that includes cooking, cleaning, money skills and budgeting, shopping skills, and home management. These skills are crucial for fostering independence and supporting individuals who aspire to live as independently as possible.
Vocational skills
Our vocational training programs help individuals prepare for the workforce by offering job training, resume building, interview preparation, and work placement support. We also offer on-site work skills through our mini-enterprise projects, such as up-cycling furniture and our community fruit and vegetable stall, car maintenance and valeting workshop, and woodwork skills.
Educational workshops
We provide a range of educational workshops, from literacy and numeracy classes to specialised courses tailored to individual interests. Our accredited courses include health & safety and preparing for work.
Social skills development
Recognising the importance of interpersonal skills for community integration, our programs include group activities that focus on social interaction, communication skills, and relationship building. We also have wellbeing workshops, relaxation pod, and You say, we listen group.
Creative and recreational activities
We offer a variety of creative and recreational activities, including art, music, drama, creative baking, textiles, and recreational sports. We also offer Forest School and woodland workshops. These activities provide creative outlets, the chance to develop new hobbies, and contribute to mental and emotional well-being.
Health and fitness programs
We provide tailored fitness programs that cater to individual abilities, ranging from structured exercise routines to activities like dance workshops, trampolining, swimming, team games & sports, and healthy lifestyle workshops.
Tailored support for diverse needs
