Community Links

Overview

CMSS currently has 5 community based projects running in the following boroughs: South Hillingdon, North Hillingdon, Harrow, Brent and Northwood Hills.

The community projects began in 2007 with a pilot project in the Wembley area of the borough of Brent. The project , provides daytime support services to adults who have physical disabilities or learning difficulties.  Each person has an individualised timetable which enables them to access activities, work experience and courses in their own local communities.

Once the pilot was sucessful, we expanded into the boroughs of Hillingdon and Harrow, increasing the service we offer to our clients with a broad range of activities to enable them to live fulfilled lives and make choices which in turn enables them to have some control over their lives.

The Mission

All people involved in the project will have one united vision that believes:

• Everyone has the right to live, work and contribute to their community as valued members.
• Everyone has something to offer that is worthy of respect.
• Everyone has the right to make decisions for themselves.
• Everyone has the opportunity to form friendships and relationships with a variety of people in their community.

Our mission is to provide the long or short term support to enable people with disabilities to live in their own community as a valued member, to use their skills in meaningful ways, to make informed choices about their lives and to build relationships in their community. By working co-operatively with family, friends, local resources and other services, it is our goal to assist people with disabilities in enjoying rich and valued lives.

Services Available

The service is designed to be flexible and respond to the needs of each person involved in the project. Each individual will have a structured day on everyday they participate in the service. The following community activities are available, as are many more:

• Adult Education College courses, all levels such as City and Guilds, including topics like Gardening, Photography, Embroidery, Fashion and Floristry.
• Clients have the opportunity to attend main stream courses. Currently we have clients on French, German and Italian courses working towards qualifications.
