Our training takes place through a number of programmes:
• Horticulture – the maintenance and development of the grounds both as an accessible leisure environment and the production of organic food and plants.
• Catering and customer service – all aspects of the delivery of a catering service to the general public.
• Maintenance and cleaning the Centre – upkeep of the Centre and preparing the residential facilities for incoming groups. This particular training assists clients with learning difficulties to acquire skills needed for independent living.
• Art – There are a number of in-situ permanent art features, both inside the Centre and throughout the grounds. These have been created by visiting groups working with local artists, and have been designed to be appreciated by people with a range of abilities.
• Staff Development Days – using our partners to deliver a high quality service to match the needs and aspirations of organisations.
• IT and Skills training – The provision of accredited I.T. training aimed at groups within our local community who are disadvantaged or suffer from a learning disability, or simply with an interest in I.T.
• Digital Media Learn More – We are able to offer training in all aspects of the media from producing and script writing to filming and editing film. This project is for people of all ages to acquire new skills, to develop media projects about the environment in which they live, or to promote issues that are important to them.

Staff/Volunteer Development Days
The aims of our development days are to enable organisations:
• To build & strengthen relationships.
• To develop greater awareness and understanding of each others’ needs and how team members can support each other more effectively to achieve common goals.
• To motivate each other.
• To create a better understanding of different roles and positions within an organisation.
There is no prescriptive programme on the Development Days and the programme can be tailored to suit the group’s requirements.
We work closely to ensure that the needs of the organisations are met to the full.
