This gives the individual the opportunities to enjoy social activities tailored to meet their individual needs, whilst building friendships and relationships and in turn giving the family member/carer an opportunity to unwind and relax knowing their son or daughter is participating in something of their choice and enjoying themselves meeting new people and enjoying the company old friends.
Our social opportunities service works closely with families throughout the Greater Belfast Area, and from places such as Dundonald, Lisburn, North, South East and West Belfast.
