Disability

Braintree District Mencap Society

We funded this programme, designed by the young adults themselves, which includes sessions on food hygiene, budgeting and bills, relationships and sexual health and keeping safe – all important skills when moving towards independent living.

The development of these skills not only helps them to be more independent in everyday life, but builds decision making and assertiveness skills , as they will feel more confident when approaching social situations and feel more able to speak up for themselves.
