The New Blendworth Centre is a day provision for post 19 year old people with varying degrees of learning difficulties/disabilities. The Centre offers its Service Users a work orientated placement in a semi-sheltered environment, situated in the village of Horndean in Hampshire. The Centre aims to develop and support individual goals, encourage friendships, raise self-esteem and promote confidence and independence. Referrals for placement at the Centre can be made through either your local social services office or by contacting the Centre direct.
Within the Centre grounds there is a small nursery outlet with many poly tunnels and potting sheds which facilitates the service users activities. From seed sowing, plant cuttings, potting on, cleaning stock and generally keeping the nursery and its display areas clean and tidy, makes for a busy day at the Centre. The end product of these on-site activities can be purchased by the general public in our nursery shop. An organisation called the Bedhampton volunteers contract us to plant up their wraparound lamppost tubs for their summer display within the village of Bedhampton they have used our services for many years. Out-reach contractual work ranging from small gardens to larger grounds maintenance is carried out by a small team under the supervision of a member of staff. We take pride in the fact that we are very involved in the local community; we undertake litter pick-ups for Horndean Parish Council and Clanfield Parish Council. We also deliver leaflets in these areas when we are required to do so. The Centre offers the opportunity for its service users to join together in recreational activities during the week. Basic adult education is delivered at the Centre in a small classroom setting for Service Users who wish to continue to develop their numeracy and literary skills. A new craft area has proven to be very popular offering Service Users the opportunity to experience working with different art and craft mediums. Our service users feel passionately about their Centre and this is demonstrated by the enthusiasm each individual exhibits through-out any one day and their continuing contribution to the running and the maintenance of this service facility. |
