Hastings and Bexhill Mencap provides a quality and meaningful day service, Open Door. Open Door is open 5 days a week from 9.30am – 4pm, we are a self-funded day service with members paying a fee to attend.
Members have a choice of activities designed to encourage a positive and independent future.
We work in a person-centred way to provide two different timetables: New Experiences (NeW) for members who enjoy an active life style, and Opportunities for Life (O4L) for those who prefer a slower pace.
From gardening to craft, from golf to geo-caching, Open Door will keep you busy and active with a full timetable of activities and projects!
Where possible, we are keen to support our members in voluntary or paid work placements. We enjoy collaborating on performing arts projects with Active Arts, also run by Hastings and Bexhill Mencap. Whenever we can, Open Door participates in community and national projects and we have even taken part in the Special Olympics!
If you are interested in joining Open Door or would like to find out more, please complete our enquiry form below and we will get back to you.
