Enable Resource Centre
The Enable Resource Centre is a day service for adults with learning difficulties who live in or around Chesterfield and Mansfield.
There are lots of different exciting things to do, some at the centre and some out in the community. The centre can take up to 25 people a day.
At the centre, we aim to:
- provide activities that are based on service users' needs and choices
- involve service users in the community, so that they have th eopportunity to work with people with and without learning difficulties
- work in partnership with people with learning difficulties, their parents, carers and the community
- help service users to gain control of their own lives and make their own choices and decisions, whatever their disabilities
- help people to find out about other services in the community and how to use them,to learn things, meet people, and have fun
- open up new experiences, to encourage personal development and growth
- give people the information they need to help them make life choices

If a service user needs it, we can arrange transport to and from the centre.
Some service users come to the Enable Resource Centre because they have been referred to us by the Social Services Learning Disability Team at Ash Green. Other service users refer themselves.
When service users come to us, we work with them to discover what they like doing, what they're good at and which activities are good for them. We help them to choose the activities they want to take part in.
There are always new activities to try, so service users can vary their activities whenever they choose. They are also encouraged to take part in running the centre.
