Learning and training opportunities to build skills for everyday life or work.

Volunteering opportunities to build confidence, skills, or abilities.

Support for people with learning disabilities, learning difficulties, or autism.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re not sure where to start, if you have a specific goal in mind, or if you want to grow your skills while you’re in work – our partners and advisors are there to help.”
