People are at the heart of County Care. We consider our family to be made up of both the team members and the individuals using our services.
Our passionate Community Support Workers receive significant training and are supported by an experienced management team, across a range of disciplines. All of our work is delivered with compassion and sensitivity.
We recognise each of our service users to be their own person, with individual needs, wishes and aspirations. Our person-centred approach accommodates individual needs with tailor made care plans that start in the areas they are most interested in, and together we find a way to help them to help themselves, and become active members of their community.
Our state-of-the-art Community Hubs provide a full suite of spaces and equipment to create the perfect environment for our service users. We are innovators in the support of adults with learning difficulties, autism and mental health needs and our pioneering programmes are geared towards the achievement of meaningful outcomes.
Our dedicated team of Community Support Workers facilitate a full range of projects, all designed to help boost confidence and develop skills that can be used in everyday life. From Project Café, which teaches practical skills in service and hospitality, to Project Radio, which uses broadcasting as a mechanism to support teamwork and communication, we have all the bases covered!

A vibrant, inclusive space where every cup tells a story. A place to connect, support and grow together!
We simulate all the workings of a friendly café in our Project Café restaurants, serving the local community. From taking orders and handling cash, to preparing meals and managing inventory, this incredible real-world experience is instrumental in helping our service users to develop the skills and confidence to apply for jobs at other cafés.
A radio station where neurodiversity takes the mic and creativity knows no bounds - offering a celebration of unique voices and perspectives
We are live and on the airwaves with Project Radio, an innovative programme designed for adults with learning difficulties, autism and mental health needs to get involved with the running of a radio station. Complete with soundproofing, mixers, and all the equipment, Project Radio is invaluable in helping our service users to express themselves, build confidence and work together as a team.
Cook with confidence and take control of your meals. Develop your independence by building skills for life – one meal at a time!
​
Exactly as it says on the tin! ‘Plan it, Buy it, Cook it!’ is designed to introduce real world skills in a fun, nurturing environment. We consider the ability to plan and prepare meals to be fundamental to our service users’ health and wellbeing.
We start by choosing a recipe and writing all the ingredients on a shopping list, then head to the shops. We then prepare a meal in our Community Hubs kitchen, with a focus on food hygiene and safety. And then the best part: trying out all the tasty treats!
Exploring what it means to live a healthy, balanced life – physically, mentally and emotionally.
Our Healthy Lifestyle projects are designed to incorporate fun, exercise and teamwork, and are carried out at both our Community Hubs and external sites.
From sporting activities and dance, to wellbeing practices such as yoga and mindfulness, we give our service users the opportunity to express themselves through movement and connect with a healthier lifestyle!
Project Pathways (Volunteering and Employment)
A forward thinking initiative offering a tailored approach to professional development and job readiness.
Only 22% of neurodiverse adults are in any kind of employment – our mission through Project Pathways is to change that. Offering meaningful, strengths-based support that aligns with each individual’s aspirations and abilities, we are able to help you choose the best pathway for you by:
​
-
Placing you with organisations providing volunteering and employment opportunities within the local community.
-
Helping to create your CV.
-
Teaching you computer skills using our PCs located in each of our hubs.
-
Helping you achieve qualifications and new skills in areas of interest.
Unleashing your creativity and entrepreneurial spirit – turning your passions into projects!
Design and Enterprise is about getting hands-on with designing, creating and then selling your creations to the local community at events and through our online shop!
​
Individuals learn the business basics and feel empowered to embark on a guided journey to launch their creative venture – Project Enterprise helps turn ideas into actions!
Project Enterprise
Growing and Gardening
A calm and supportive environment to explore the joys of planting, growing and connecting – with the earth and each other.
All of our Community Hubs are equipped with a working garden, complete with tools and equipment and all the goodness of the outdoors.
Our Customers engage in horticultural projects that inspire communication, teamwork and develop a connection with nature and the outdoor environment. From planning and budgeting, to sowing and harvesting, this opportunity presents an enriching experience for all!

Craft and create a Woodwork Project whilst building skills, building confidence and building something you are proud of!
Our Woodwork Project takes our service users from having no experience at all to being able to do incredible things with their hands in our Community Hub workshops!
With a focus on building skills in communication and hand-eye coordination, and health and safety, we bring it all together in a rewarding experience that empowers our service users to engage with the practises of craftsmanship, building their own furniture and more!
