Our day opportunities services offer safe, supported environments to learn new skills and make new friends.
We offer full day opportunities at Warren Avenue in Portsmouth and at Minstead Lodge and Furzey Gardens in the New Forest.
Our experienced instructors will help you to be more independent. You can choose activities to learn work and life skills which make you feel more confident, help you make friends and feel healthy and happy. Activities could be woodwork, dance, ceramics, horticulture, cycling and much more.
Funding is usually by agreement with Adult Social Services, although self payments are also possible.
