Personal Development Service
The Steam n’ Coffee Shop, located within the Junction, is Innovations professionally run coffee shop that offers training to equip adults with disabilities the necessary skills and experience to develop their hospitality skills. Offering a wide range of food and drink, it is a welcoming place where all can come and relax.
The aim of this activity is to encourage creativity which is a useful skill in life and gives individuals the opportunity to create something unique out of materials. It is essentially a positive way for service users to express their thoughts and ideas. In addition, it helps individuals to make choices as they will have to decide on which tools to use, how to decorate their crafts and how to use them once finished.
“Reach for the stars” is a film making project for individuals with special needs who are encouraged to become involved within the arts culture. Individuals explore themes, ideas and stories that are planned in a relaxing environment. The course encourages team work, both in front of and behind the camera giving individuals confidence, improved communication and responsibility. The film making course is a fun activity, enjoyed by all who attend.
