Disabled people don’t have the same opportunities as their non-disabled peers to engage in activities that will help them attain the life skills they need in making the transition into adulthood. This means they miss essential experiences their non-disabled peers take for granted. For disabled people the building of this foundation can take longer and requires additional support to achieve a healthy transition.

Thomley enhances the well-being of disabled people through delivering activities that helps develop the skills they need to run their day-to-day lives.

Our aims are as follows:

(a)    to provide facilities and support services in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their impairment/disability with the object of improving their conditions of life;(b)    to preserve and protect the health of those caring for people with physical, learning or sensory impairment within the family or home by offering a short break service through the provision of community based activities, advice and support; and(c)    to develop the capacity of non-disabled members of the community in such a way where they are better able to understand and meet the needs of their disabled peers to support them to participate more fully in society.
