About Us

We provide for Children and Young People aged 2-19 

A dedicated specialist day school for children, with high level teaching and nursing support

As well as a wide range of short term breaks - from fully equipped residential and/or domiciliary support to fun holiday and community activities.

Diverse Abilities Plus is an independent, not for profit organisation working together with families to help meet the needs of local people, of all ages with physical and learning difficulties.

We are dedicated to supporting their needs today and the needs that they will have tomorrow whilst enabling them to experience a lifetime  of opportunities and challenges.  We endeavour to achieve this through tailor-made programmes of support, developed according to the needs of the individual through every transitional stage of their lives and personal development.

We Provide for Adults  

Individual Supported Living as tenants in homes fully equipped to address individual requirements

As well as day activities with support and personal care.

What We Offer

Diverse Abilities Plus believes in the unique dignity of each person and their right whenever possible to make their own choices about their life and work situation and the activities in which they engage. We believe that the people we support should dictate the type and range of services that we offer and that the organisation needs to be able to respond flexibly to individuals' choices. We value and respect equally the people we support and the staff we engage.

We want to be lifetime partners to individuals and their families, empowering them and offering the best level of assistance, support and education.
