From engaging daytime activities to practical workshops and social experiences, we help individuals build confidence, develop skills, make friendships, and enjoy meaningful experiences.

 

Day Services

Our Day Services offer a welcoming, supportive environment where adults with learning disabilities can enjoy a wide variety of activities tailored to their individual needs, interests and abilities. From arts and crafts to music, cooking, sensory experiences and life skills, every day brings new opportunities.

Green Bike Project

Garden Furniture Workshop

Our Garden Furniture Workshop provides meaningful, hands-on opportunities for customers to develop woodworking and practical skills. Together with our experienced staff, customers help create beautiful handmade garden furniture, memorial benches, planters and wildlife products for the local community.

Thursday Social Club

Our Thursday Social Club provides a friendly and relaxed environment where adults with learning disabilities can socialise, make friends and enjoy an evening of activities. From games and creative sessions to cooking and shared meals, it’s all about having fun, building confidence and feeling part of a community.

Transport Services

Our dedicated transport service helps customers travel safely and comfortably to and from Genesis. With accessible minibuses and experienced drivers, we aim to make attending our services easier for individuals and provide reassurance for their families and carers.

Sensory and Wellbeing Facilities

Our purpose-designed sensory rooms and accessible facilities provide opportunities for relaxation, stimulation and individualised activities. These spaces support customers with a wide range of needs, helping to create a comfortable and inclusive environment where everyone can participate at their own pace.


At Genesis, we believe everyone deserves opportunities to learn, grow, make choices and enjoy life in a way that works for them.
