We provide specialist support for adults with learning disabilities. Offering a safe and friendly environment with experienced staff dedicated to supporting people to achieve their personal goals.
How do we work?
At Community Lives, the people we support help shape what we do. Whether it's choosing activities, suggesting new ideas or getting involved in everyday tasks such as gardening, cleaning and washing up, everyone is encouraged to take part in a way that works for them.
We offer a wide range of opportunities to build skills, explore interests, support wellbeing and spend time with others. Activities are flexible and regularly change to reflect people's interests, choices and local events, so there's always something new to try.
Whether you enjoy being active, getting creative, spending time with other people or getting outdoors, there's lots to get involved in.

Staying active is a great way to boost your wellbeing, build confidence and have fun with others. Whether you enjoy gentle exercise, being part of a team, dancing to music or simply getting out and about, there are plenty of ways to get moving at Community Lives.
Our activities are designed to suit different abilities and fitness levels, with support available whenever it's needed. You can choose from a range of options including swimming, walking football, gym sessions, gentle exercise, dance, Zumba, Pilates, rebounding, indoor sports, rambling and community walking groups.
The focus isn't on being the fastest or fittest. It's about enjoying movement, meeting people, trying new things and feeling good while staying active in a way that works for you.
Whether you enjoy art, crafts, music, photography or making something with your hands, there are lots of opportunities to explore your creative side at Community Lives.
Our creative activities give people the chance to explore their interests, make things they're proud of and enjoy spending time with others. From Creative Art, All Things Crafty, Jewellery Making, Media & Photography, Karaoke and a range of music groups, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
There's no right or wrong way to get involved. It's about expressing yourself, enjoying the process and having fun while discovering new talents and interests.
Spending time with other people, making friends and feeling part of a community is important for everyone's wellbeing. At Community Lives, we offer a range of activities that bring people together in a relaxed, welcoming and supportive environment.
Whether you enjoy a game of bowling, a round of bingo, visiting local places or simply having a chat over a shared activity, there are plenty of opportunities to meet new people and enjoy time with others. Activities include Bowling, Pool & Darts, Bingo, Table Top Games, Forever Friends, Community Group, TVAP visits and Music Games.
Whether it's a game of bingo, a trip out, a chat over a shared activity or time spent with friends, these sessions are all about enjoying the everyday moments that bring people together.
Getting outdoors is a great way to stay active, learn new skills and enjoy a change of scenery. At Community Lives, there are plenty of opportunities to spend time outside, connect with nature and get involved in projects that make a difference.
Activities include gardening, horticulture, conservation work and caring for shared outdoor spaces, as well as community-based groups and volunteering opportunities. Whether it's growing vegetables, helping to maintain a sensory garden, supporting local environmental projects or taking part in community initiatives, there's always something to get involved in.
The focus is on enjoying the outdoors, developing practical skills and being part of something bigger. These activities provide opportunities to learn, contribute, try new experiences and take pride in making a positive impact on local places and spaces.
