At AYP, inclusion isn’t an afterthought — it’s at the heart of everything we do. Our Social, Educational and Support Services for Individuals with Disabilities, delivered from the new building in partnership with XXX and local specialist organisations, ensure that people with disabilities of all ages can participate fully in community life.
These programmes provide accessible learning, recreation, and social opportunities designed to promote independence, confidence, and belonging.
