Type of service: Day services

Banff Day Services developed as a community based service to meet the needs of adults with learning disabilities living in the community after leaving hospital or full time education in Banff, Macduff, Turriff, Whitehills and the surrounding areas. The opportunities available at Banff Day Services are flexible to address individual and service needs. Support workers can work on a one to one basis for specific opportunities to be accessed, for example swimming, or employment. Volunteers also offer their skills in supporting activities. The snack bar at the Gateway Community Centre in Turriff is used for training people in catering and retail skills. Use is also made of community and arts centres, educational facilities, swimming pools, clubs and local employers to provide work, learning experiences and social education opportunities. Referral is via the care management team.

Volunteers may be accepted to work with the service users.
