Adult Project
 The Hamlet Centre is a place for young people
with special needs to develop their full potential and learn to be as
independent as possible. With support from their key workers,
students select their own timetable from a wide range of courses on
offer, including basic education, personal development, independent
living and social activities
Basic Education
We welcome tutors from the Learning Enhancement Team to teach small
groups of students. Using volunteers and our own staff team we can
provide a very high level of support for all our groups, making sure
that each student gets as much as possible from their chosen courses.
 Personal Development
An important part of what students learn here is
about being confident and asking for what you want. We run a
Developing Self-Advocacy Course, a Personal Development Course and a
Personal Safety Course, amongst others. All these courses
are designed so that anyone can take part, no matter what their ability
level. Courses often include trips out and visits.
Independent Living
We have a small flat in the centre of Norwich that is available as the
base for our Independent Living Project. Students learn about
healthy eating, looking after yourself, shopping and community
involvement.
Social and Leisure
Students enjoy being part of social groups, for example going bowling or
swimming. People make friends at the Hamlet Centre and then can
meet up in their own time, thus helping to create a support network
themselves.
Art and Craft
Many students find art to be a good way of expressing themselves. We
use a variety of media and have held two successful exhibitions in
Norwich, giving students the opportunity to exhibit their work. We
work with local artists who are brilliant at helping students experiment
with new forms of art.
Out of Hours Project
This is a new project
to facilitate students who attend the Hamlet Centre with 'out of hours'
activities. These range from a meal out, trips to the cinemas, horse
riding and skiing.
