Working with adults with learning disabilities
DIY runs a range of projects and workshops with adults with learning disabilities.
We are always keen to work in partnership with other organisations, so please contact us if you would like to discuss possible collaborations or projects.
DIY BUDS
DIY BUDS is DIY’s popular weekly drama session for adults with learning disabilities. Held at Langworthy Cornerstone, sessions are free and everyone is welcome!
Spring Term 2019 – last session is 28th May before we close for Easter Holiday
Summer Term 2019 – 9 weeks starting Thursday 2nd May
Weekly sessions take place every Thursday from 1 – 3pm at Langworthy Cornerstone in Salford. Workshops are planned and co-run by members of DIY’s Friday Group.
During the Summer Term our theme will continue to be a “Sense of Adventure!”
Sessions are free and everyone is welcome. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never done drama before. You can come, join in, have fun and laughter and make new friends. It helps boost your confidence and put a smile on your face. Buds can also help you to become a better actor and learn new skills. We also sometimes put on shows.
DIY courses for adults
DIY runs a range of free courses for adults with learning disabilities from Salford. Past courses have ranged from drama and performance skills, to sound and voice and volunteering. Courses are supported by Salford Community Learning Trust.
