At Minstead Trust we want the people we support to live life to its full potential.
A key part of a fulfilling life is the opportunity, encouragement and support to try new things.
This could be a change in weekly routine, pursuing a new hobby, tackling a long term issue, or investigating employment opportunities.
We aim to support all aspects of a person’s life to help them make changes and thrive.
Read on to see some of the new experiences or supportive programmes that can help people to realise their potential in life.
