Members of the SEND Programme Team were delighted to attend the second anniversary celebration of The Scadbury Centre, a horticultural centre which supports adults with learning disabilities. It was incredible to see the progress that has been made since the centre opened. From cultivating plants and vegetables to developing practical skills and confidence, the hard work and dedication of the team was evident throughout the site. We were particularly impressed to learn that they are even growing loofahs… although at this stage they look remarkably similar to courgettes!
A particular highlight was meeting Tyler, the newest member of staff at The Scadbury Centre. Tyler secured his part-time role through LSECs Supported Internship programme, showing the positive impact that supported employment pathways can have in helping young people move into meaningful paid work.
It was also wonderful to meet so many people who have helped make the centre such a success, it was clear how valued the centre is by its neighbours and the wider Scadbury Park community.
Congratulations to everyone involved – the achievements of the past two years are a testament to their commitment, vision and hard work and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for The Scadbury Centre!
