In addition to the training of craft skills we offer in house
training of cooking, numeracy, life and social skills, we work
closely with social services "Homemakers" providing
skills in road sense, using public transport, self advocacy
leading to ultimate independence.
We have built up a good support from outside agencies and local
businesses such as: Mencap "Pathway Scheme", Eastern
Employment Service, Suffolk County Council, and the JobCentre
disablement resettlement officer.
Beccles traders have been very supportive offering work experience,
this has been a great success with some of our people working
outside the workshop in retail, at "Cloves" clothes
shop, and one of our ladies after a trial period has been taken
on part time at "Safeways" supermarket.
Some of our employees are gaining work experience, gardening
and decorating for the elderly or disabled, and working closely
with caretakers at a Lowestoft school.
We also encourage our people to attend further education classes
in adult literacy, computing and any other courses that are
suitable.
We can accommodate placements of students from Lowestoft College
care courses and nursing students.
