Description

Our weekly lifelong learning programmes follow a syllabus and scheme of work and use the arts (dance, drama, music, literature and visual arts) as a way to make educational topics and themes more accessible for adults with learning disabilities.

All of our practitioners are highly skilled in delivering sessions to suit a range of needs, using a multi-sensory approach which creates an immersive and engaging experience for participants. As well as promoting lifelong learning our programmes also help participants to improve their social skills, confidence and independence skills.

Our lifelong learning programme run 10am – 3pm during term time. We currently have 12 programmes at venues across Yorkshire. We offer new participants two free taster sessions, with programmes then costing £40 per day. Throughout the day we do lots of different arts activities, and our workshops are interspersed with lots of social time which enables participants to develop their social skills.

We do not provide personal care at Purple Patch but participants can bring along support to help them with this.

Participants will also need to bring their own lunch.
