Courses are designed to stimulate the physical, intellectual, emotional and creative needs of attending clients/members and encompass social skills, vocational training and self advocacy including a wide range of therapeutic and leisure pursuits.

The main objectives of the Centre are:

• to enable clients/members to realise maximum intellectual and physical potential

• to provide training and respite support to people with physical disabilities in order to prepare for employment

• to provide day activities for people who as a result of their disabilities are unable to work.

THE TRUSTEES

The Freedom Centre Trustees are legally and financially responsible for controlling the management and administration of the charity, ‘The Freedom Centre, working with people with disabilities’. All Trustees work on a voluntary basis and together form the Executive Committee with a sub-committee known as the Staffing Committee.

Members (physically disabled adults who attend the Centre) elect two of their colleagues to represent them on the Executive Committee who are duly elected as Trustees. All Trustees are elected every year at the Annual General Meeting of The Freedom Centre.

The Executive Committee appoints staff to form their management team, which is responsible for the day to day running of the Centre, and to implement the policies laid down by the Executive Committee.
