The LIFE Project

Life Skills, Independence, Friendship and Empowerment.

The LIFE Project is a supportive day service for young adults with learning disabilities, designed to help each person develop practical skills, build confidence and become more independent.

What is the LIFE Project?

Learning Skills for Everyday Life

Based at Parkside in Aldershot, the programme combines individual development with group activities, friendships and opportunities to get involved in the local community.

Activities are designed to help people develop skills they can use in everyday life while encouraging greater independence, confidence and participation.

Every four to five weeks, the group works through a programme focused on a particular life skill. Each person also has their own learning plan with realistic goals based around their individual development.

What Does LIFE Focus On?

Life Skills

Develop practical everyday abilities through activities and experiences that encourage learning, participation and personal development.

Independence

Build confidence in making choices, trying new things and developing the skills needed to become more independent.

Friendship

Spend time with others, build relationships and develop social confidence through shared activities and experiences.

Empowerment

Encourage people to have a voice, recognise their abilities and feel confident taking an active role in their own development.
