A local charity providing a wide range of work based & leisure services for adults with learning disabilities from Hambleton & Richmondshire areas.
Northdale is a registered charity providing training, work-based activities and social & leisure opportunities for adults with learning disabilities.
We work with people who live in the Hambleton and Richmondshire areas of North Yorkshire and beyond. We are working with approximately 100 people at any one time. We operate out of facilities based in Northallerton & Colburn.
Northdale Day Services works hard to create a respectful environment in which adults with learning disabilities can develop new skills, cultivate friendships, and achieve their full potential. We believe that everybody is different and has different interests, and that’s why we try to offer our members the broadest possible range of work based opportunities.
Northdale Day Services arts and crafts department produces a wide range of crafts and gifts, which are sold via our popular gift shop. The Studio is always developing new products and ideas, working in a range of media including paint, fabric, ink, recycled materials, cards and paper. It also maintains and restocks the charity’s gift shop. This group is suitable for individuals of all ability.
The Nursery team then focuses on producing hardy perennials, garden shrubs and herbs, before switching to wreath production in the run up to Christmas. The Nursery is a busy, work-focused group that suits individuals of all abilities.
The Growing Together Group offers members the opportunity to take part in a broad spectrum of activities including arts and crafts, gardening and much more. The activities are organised as a series of individual workstations / spaces and benefit from a purpose-built sensory room. The group is ideally suited to potential clients who would benefit from a gentle, person-centered approach. The group also supports clients on the autistic spectrum.
Members of Team `Fix It’ work around the site undertaking a range of maintenance and property repair jobs. Team members can also work in our purpose-built workshop, creating a range of wooden products such as bird boxes and machine-cut wooden shapes produced on our CNC router. The activity is suitable for all.
