Integrity – we encourage staff to ‘do what you say’. We aim to demonstrate good character and encourage a positive atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. We always try to do the right thing and are honest and straight forward with each other.

Empowerment – we encourage not only the service users but also the staff, to believe in themselves. We inspire staff to be responsive and innovative and we endeavour to do whatever it takes to create a positive and happy environment. We have a clear vision of where we are going.

Respect – we show consideration for one another and go out of our way to meet each other’s needs, while recognising differences. We promote, value and reward and encourage an honest two way communication. We believe that everyone is worthy of regard and admiration due to the excellent qualities and capabilities that are brought into the workplace.

Ambition – We have a strong desire to promote all staff and service users to accomplish both personally and professionally. We strive for achievement and success. We encourage determination, aspiration, motivation and enthusiasm.

Our Services

Our timetable starts each day with breakfast. Most of our members choose this option and this is included with the cost of lunch provided too.

We offer a variety of meals that are part of the weekly menu that we plan and shop for. We choose four weekly menus to keep the food as varied as possible and include a daily vegetarian option too. A desert coarse is offered with options of fruit should that be favoured. We also organise monthly trips to various venues, Smithills Farm & Blue Planet Aquarium.
