At Somerset Court our aim is for people to gain in confidence and independence and to build their social and communication skills. To help each person to thrive and to develop their full potential we create tailor-made programmes of activities. These reflect people’s interests and needs, and are carefully structured and balanced to give a mix of learning and leisure.

At home, each person has their own timetable which encourages them to become more self-sufficient. It includes household chores such as shopping, cooking and independent living skills, and leisure activities such as visiting the pub, bowling or going for a walk. People may also choose to do art and craft activities, cooking, IT, music therapy and aromatherapy.

People who live at Somersert Court also enjoy a wide range of leisure and vocational activities at the North Somerset Centre in Weston-super-Mare, and take day and evening courses at nearby Bridgewater College.
