01
We start with what the person actually wants to do, then work out what support makes that realistic.
Innovative community participation
Community Participation Based Around Real Interests and Goals
Registration group 0116
Community participation should not mean simply taking someone somewhere and waiting.
One & Only uses individual support to explore what the person is actually interested in, then builds participation, confidence and skills around it.
Why people choose this support
People who want community participation to lead somewhere: an interest, a skill, a routine worth keeping.
Participation with a purpose rather than an outing to fill a shift.
Who this support is designed for
- People who want to try something new with the right support alongside them
- People whose current community support feels aimless
- People working toward a specific interest, activity or skill
