New Directions Support

At New Directions Support we know that it can sometimes be hard for people with disabilities to find meaningful structured activities when they leave school or college, where they can continue to make friends and develop their skills through their adult years.

We provide a wide range of structured, enjoyable and supported activities throughout the week. These include

• Activities in our dedicated workshop
• Technology Sessions (computers)
• Art, with our own in-house artist
• Independent Living Skills at our own Life Skills Centre
• Drama
• Active sessions - including sports and rambling

New Directions Support began in 2013 and as a charitable company is run by a board of trustees. We operate from two venues, our main one is in the centre of Stafford and we also have our own life skills centre at Beaconside. All our staff are passionate about supporting people to achieve their individual outcomes. Please contact us for more information about the great activities we offer and to arrange a visit.

During the Covid-19 Pandemic we were quick to establish an alternative service. We set up daily zoom sessions for service users to take part in a wealth of activities including, trivia, Makaton, cookery and art demos. We also delivered weekly letterbox craft and toolbox projects alongside telephone calls to all of the families that we provide support for. Once we were able to return to a building based service the alternative service remains and still runs alongside offering a meaningful provision for all.
