WELCOME TO THE NEW

BLENDWORTH CENTRE

The New Blendworth Centre is a day provision for post 19 year old people with varying degrees of learning difficulties/disabilities. 
The Centre offers its Service Users a work orientated placement in a semi-sheltered environment, situated in the village of Horndean in Hampshire. The Centre aims to develop and support individual goals, encourage friendships, raise self-esteem and promote confidence and independence. Referrals for placement at the Centre can be made through either your local social services office or by contacting the Centre direct.

NURSERY OUTLET

Within the Centre grounds there is a small nursery outlet with many poly tunnels and potting sheds which facilitates the service users activities. From seed sowing, plant cuttings, potting on, cleaning stock and generally keeping the nursery and its display areas clean and tidy, makes for a busy day at the Centre. The end product of these on-site activities can be purchased by the general public in our nursery shop.

OUT-REACH WORK

Out-reach contractual work ranging from small gardens to larger grounds maintenance is carried out by a small team under the supervision of a member of staff.

We also deliver leaflets in the Horndean and Clanfield Parish Council’s when we are required to do so.

SOCIALS

The Centre offers the opportunity for its service users to join together in recreational activities during the week and a craft area has proven to be very popular offering Service Users the opportunity to experience working with different art and craft mediums.
​

Our service users feel passionately about their Centre and this is demonstrated by the enthusiasm each individual exhibits through-out any one day  and their continuing contribution to the running and the maintenance of this service facility. ​​

A sign reads, Thank you for supporting our project at New Blendworth Centre. We look forward to welcoming you back soon, and is displayed between two hanging flower baskets.
