| Purpose | Bright Opportunities is a not- for- profit, community interest company. We are a day service for adults with learning difficulties/ disabilities living within the High Peak. The service is dedicated to providing the highest quality person centred care and support and offers access to a variety of leisure, educational and developmental activities. Our day service is based around the local community resources. We offer a range of activities for adults with learning disabilities. Users of the service can choose which activities they would like to take part in. These make use of local facilities, rather than only taking place in a dedicated building. Bright opportunities actively seek to promote choice, opportunity and independence in the way in which each service user decides to use their day in a personal centred approach. The service takes a person-centred approach to developing and delivering an individual activity plan. Staff actively support people with a learning difficulty to increase their independence ensuring that people with a learning difficulty have opportunities to contribute to and benefit from community life and are seen and valued as equal citizens. |
