Sapphire Support Hub is our welcoming centre in Newham, where we provide culturally appropriate day care services for people with Learning, Physical, and Sensory disabilities. The centre is fully equipped with ICT training facilities, state-of-the-art sensory rooms, arts and craft workshops, and multipurpose activity rooms.

Our team has expertise in a variety of medical conditions, including Learning Disability, Mental Health, Cerebral Palsy, Dementia, Challenging Behaviour, High Complex Needs, Hearing and Sight Impairment, Down’s Syndrome, and Multiple Disabilities. Our services are tailor-made to meet the changing needs of our clients, and we are committed to providing a learning and social environment in which the rights and dignity of all of our members are respected.

Elder Persons Group (Ages 60+, Mondays and Wednesdays)

We offer a group for older adults aged 60+ every Monday and Wednesday. This group provides support to community members who may have Early Dementia, feel lonely or isolated, and need befriending services. The program also includes movement exercises, social activities, and shopping trips. All activities take place in Unit 1 (Ground Floor), offering a warm and supportive space.

From Monday to Friday, we run a dedicated Learning Disability Group, providing tailored support and activities for individuals with varying needs including Learning Disability, Cerebral Palsy, Challenging Behaviour, High Complex needs, Hearing and sight impairment, Down’s Syndrome and Multiple Disabilities.

ACTIVITIES

Our carefully curated program is designed to have the perfect balance of indoor and outdoor activities and to support the greater involvement and participation of those who are disabled as well as of their parents, carers or guardians.
