WHAT IS BOURNEMOUTH COAST? |
|
Bournemouth
COAST is a three-year project that provides training services
for people in and around Bournemouth who have learning difficulties.
We aim to support people to live more independently and safely,
to enjoy and look after their environment.
A
number of organisations make up the Partnership and manage the
project:
- Advance
Housing and Support
- The
Streetwise Safety Centre (CLICK

- Bournemouth
Council for Voluntary Service
- A
Research Team of people who have learning difficulties
- Bournemouth
University

|
| WHAT
DO WE DO? |
Provide training courses around the needs of people with
learning difficulties.
-
Specialise in training where people learn about real life
situations in a safe and fun way, at the Streetwise Safety
Centre which is a life size village built inside a warehouse.
- Offer
support to staff, parents and carers, by providing information
and advice services that can help adults with learning difficulties
to practice their learning where they live, and learn more
in the future.

| WHO
PAYS FOR THE TRAINING? |
We
are funded partly by The Housing Corporation, Calouste Gulbenkian
Foundation and Rayne Foundation. This helps towards the costs of the
project and enables people attending to pay a reduced rate of £5.00
per course which includes refreshments and lunch.
