Working Together (Ludlow) Ltd

Description:

Working Together is a charity based in Ludlow offering support to individuals with learning difficulties and disabilities and their families across south Shropshire and north Herefordshire.

They provide skills-based opportunities and day services for people with learning difficulties and disabilities that are based within the local community, including opportunities for daytime provision based around the Working Together mini café and activity space at the Rockspring Community Centre.

The Café and associated food delivery service provides a basis for developing social skills, literacy and numeracy and skills to support independent and healthy living, as well as offering support for food hygiene and cookery training, and providing a route into further volunteering opportunities and / or part time work with local partners and supporters.

The charity offers crafts, gardening, healthy living and weekly Writers Club and Sewing Bee sessions, as well as hosting evening activities including Youth Club (age 11-18), Diversity (age 18+) and Sports Club.  They also hold regular social events for members and their families.

All activities are aimed at encouraging social integration and friendships, the development of social skills and independent living skills, and to help prevent loneliness and social isolation.

Members and their families are also encouraged to develop their own mutual support networks and offer help, advice and signposting to ease some of the challenges and pressures that can be faced on a daily basis.
