ABLE, based in Scorton, provides an opportunity for people with learning or physical disabilities, mental health issues or dementia, to engage in meaningful activities which help to improve concentration, aid dexterity, encourage decision-making and promote social interaction.

The experienced, fully trained staff have a mixture of care qualifications including specialist dementia care, counselling and further education teachers' certificates enabling the delivery of person centred development plans for those who use the service, helping each individual to explore their own potential.

Some of the activities enjoyed at ABLE include card making, watercolour painting, glass and pottery painting, woodcraft, soft furnishings, patchwork and embroidery.

Music sessions, quizzes and games, including Wii bowling, are enjoyed by those attending the centre.

The centre welcomes visitors who wish to come and see the artwork being created and browse the finished pieces, which are available for purchase. Commissions are also taken for original pieces of artwork or soft furnishings.
