LEARNING - MAKING - LIVING - GROWING

We are a small vibrant charity based in Norwich where adults with learning disabilities receive the education, training and support they require to fulfill their potential.

 Stepping Stones provides a safe environment in which adults with learning disabilities can access education and training. Our mission is to increase our students’ knowledge and confidence, encouraging them to lead more independent and fulfilling lives within their community.

  • Art & Craft

    In the art room our students use a variety of different techniques and materials to create work inspired by a common theme. The created pieces are displayed within the centre, at art exhibitions and pop-ups and also developed into items through our enterprise project.

  • Horticulture

    At our thriving allotment site, students are supported in social therapeutic horticulture, producing a wide variety of fruit, veg and herbs. Our allotment with its raised beds, poly tunnels, composting bays demonstrates how flexible a hardworking growing space can be!

  • Cooking

    Stepping Stones is renowned for its cooked lunches, through which we incorporate the produce grown at our allotment. With a focus on seasonal, healthy and nutritious lunches, are students lead the way in choosing, preparing and serving lunch at the centre every day.

  • Media

    This multi disciplinary area sees the students revisiting activities from across other subjects, and consolidate their learning through communicating it to others. They use computers to write our regular website blogs, take photos and post to our social media platforms.

  • Independent Life Skills

    Based in a 2-bed terraced home, our students are supported to work on everyday tasks such as cooking, budgeting and shopping for themselves, housekeeping and organising their free time by accessing the community for exercise, entertainment and social activities.

  • Enterprise

    Our newest project, allowing our students to create saleable products from other areas of work including art and craft, cookery and technology. From product design, packaging, labels and website listing, our students help market and promote all the items we sell.

  • Employment

    Students learn about the world of work, having the support to produce CV’s, practice interviews, job search and access different work environments on tours. Some students take on volunteering positions, work experience and work towards paid employment.

  • Health and Wellbeing

    We support our students to embrace health, happiness, movement and prosperity in many ways. Whether going for a walk, having a chat, doing yoga or dancing we support our students to develop a sense of resilience to manage anxieties and to generally feel well.
