Apasen Croydon Opportunity Zone

About this provider

Apasen Day Centre provides a culturally and faith sensitive service for adults with learning disability, challenge behaviour and/or complex from Muslim/Asian ethnicity. We also provide service for multi-culture community. All activities are provided in a context which respects and supports the culture needs of the service, i.e language, faith, and gender.

Currently we run 25 different activities such as Art & Crafts, Day Trips, Residential Trip, Horticulture, Cycling, Yoga, Healthy Living, Football, Textile, Swimming, Karaoke, Cooking, Bus day, Travel Training, Music & Movement, Gym, Life Skills, Literacy & Numeracy, Creative Burst, Makaton, Sensory session, Health & Beauty, Outdoor Games, Shopping and Morning Exercise.

We receive referrals from Croydon Social Service-Learning Disability Team and also accept from families/carers those are in receipt of direct payment/faith-based service. In addition, we also offer an individual outreach service, providing support with personal care and activities in and from your home. You may also be interested in our residential respite service, based in Redbridge (south Woodford), which provides the opportunity for occasional short breaks.

Our provisions give respite to parents/carers who may be working or need some free time to do other things in their busy lives. We have well-trained workforce, who have relevant language skills (Urdu : Hindi : Arabic :Somali : Mauritian : Bengali), appropriate training and are all DBS checked to an enhanced level. Please contact us if you think we may be able to help in anyway.

We would be happy if you want to visit the day service, or you would like us to come and visit you. We look forward to hearing from you and meeting you soon.
