Meath Skills and Enterprise Centre
Our Skills and Enterprise Centre (opened in 1988 by Rolf Harris) benefits not just our residents but a high proportion of other people in the community living with a disability. The Centre plays a key role in seizure reduction while giving our clients and other local people opportunities for skills development and self expression – opportunities they may otherwise have never experienced. It offers a wide variety of activities, ranging from one hour sessions to those that last a full day: Skills and Learning: sessions include Computer Skills within our refrubished IT Centre; History; Current Affairs and Cooking; Creative and Expressive Arts: fun packed groups giving all who attend the opportunity to become budding thesbians, from set design to pulling off a show! Horticulture and resistant materials: offering people the opportunity to develop their gardening skills, growing fruit, vegetables and flowers from scratch in our beautiful grounds. If working in all types of wood and recycled products is more appealing, then groups can experience working in our fully equipped joinery workshop, where they can create handcrafted bespoke items; Health and Wellbeing: sessions providing everyone with an opportunity to get fitter and healthier, whether it is within our newly refurbished gym or in our beautiful grounds utilising a variety of different equipment including; bats, balls, hula hoops etc - or out in the local community where, again, the emphasis is on having fun and enjoying the exercise.
