Report - 13 November 2018

Our report following a visit to Able2achieve in Yeovil, which provides supported living and domiciliary care provision.

Able2achieve Trust is a not for profit charity that provides day services and ‘preparation for work’ facilities. Their focus is on provision that enables and progresses learners and that encourages ability rather than disability. Their day service provision is offered at Coombe Farm in Crewkerne and at their Yeovil
Office. Healthwatch Somerset visited the Yeovil office where the learners have a communal room to take part in activities, and access to work preparation placements at the Winking Frog coffee shop, Able2Antiques charity shop and Bake-able bakery.

Recommendations

  1. We were extremely impressed with what we saw at Able2achieve. The support provided to learners and staff. This should be continued.
  2. Continue to try and enhance a working relationship with other organisations that either provide services to learners on other days, or that could offer more  opportunities to their learners i.e. job centre.
