Advance  

Advance is a large organisation that provides practical support and housing to help people with learning difficulties live independently and take part in activities within the community. Advance’s approach to supporting each individual is focussed on the promotion of a quality life. 

Advance works with people with a wide range of learning disabilities.

Some people have very severe learning difficulties, which can mean they are not able to communicate their feelings by speaking about them or that they are unable to complete simple everyday tasks by themselves. Other people have much milder learning difficulties and are able to do most things for themselves, but may need help with specific things like doing the finances or reading or writing. 

Some activities are: Support adults with learning disabilities with household tasks, such as shopping, cooking and cleaning; as well as supporting them to do social and leisure activities that they enjoy. This could include going to the cinema, having a meal in a restaurant or playing a sport.
