Day Services

Our day centres provide a safe, structured environment where people can enjoy meaningful, goal-oriented activities. Purpose-built spaces such as activity rooms and sensory areas give participants the opportunity to explore creative arts, cookery, and personal development while also supporting relaxation and self-regulation. Daily routines encourage confidence and social interaction, while our trained staff ensure each person’s support plan is delivered in line with New Directions principles.

Community participation is at the heart of our approach. We facilitate opportunities for individuals to take part in everyday community life, from using local libraries and sports facilities to volunteering or joining clubs. These real-world experiences build independence and social skills, while also promoting visibility and inclusion for people with disabilities. By working within the community, participants learn to navigate public transport, access local services, and build relationships, ensuring that inclusion is not just a concept but a lived reality.

For those who wish to prepare for work or further education, Barróg provides pathways into vocational training and employment. This includes access to ASDAN certification, work placements with local businesses, and supported employment opportunities. Job coaching and career planning help participants identify their strengths and explore opportunities that match their aspirations. In addition, projects such as horticulture and gardening provide hands-on, practical learning experiences that combine skill development with wellbeing.

Day Services at Barróg are built around the belief that every person should have the chance to shape their own life. Our programmes offer a balance of structure and flexibility, ensuring that supports can evolve as needs and goals change.

Each participant has an individual plan developed in partnership with them. This plan idtenfies personal aspirations, areas for growth, and preferred activities, ensuring that supports remain relevant and meaningful. Regular reviews allow plans to be updated, keeping pace with changing needs and encouraging choice and control at every stage.

Our services place strong emphasis on equipping individuals with skills that foster independence. This may include cooking, budgeting, personal care, digital literacy, or time management. Alongside these practical skills, participants are supported to develop social connections, communication abilities, and self-advocacy, all of which are essential for living more independently and confidently.

Day Services are about more than just filling time they are about creating purpose. Participants can explore creative arts such as music, drama, and crafts; take part in sports and exercise tailored to their abilities; and engage in cookery and nutrition programmes that promote healthy living. Horticulture projects and educational workshops provide further opportunities for learning and self-expression, while sensory areas offer calm spaces for self-regulation and wellbeing.

For those pursuing vocational goals, Barróg offers structured pathways into employment and volunteering. This includes vocational assessments, career planning, supported employment placements, and workplace adaptations where necessary. With access to training and job coaching, individuals can build confidence in their abilities and take steps towards greater independence and economic participation.
