The View at Plymouth Highbury Trust

The View offers 4 services to adults with a learning disability in Plymouth:-

The WISER programme is a 6 week course that teaches, enables and supports women with a learning disability to learn about the signs of domestic abuse, how to recognise an abusive relationship and how to keep themselves safe.

Our 3 Peer Support Groups; WISER LIFE, Birth Parent Support and our Parent consultation Focus group, bring men and women with a learning disability together to promote a sense of community, connect with shared experiences and to provide valuable feedback of services and agencies.

Our Easy Read Information service provides professionals with information to share with women and parents with a learning disability in a format that meets their learning needs.

Our team of Volunteers assist women to engage with and process, the WISER programme and the WISER life group.

They also support and empower parents with a learning disability who are working with Children’s Services at Child in Need meetings, Looked After Children’s Reviews and educational meetings concerning their family.

Our primary ethos is to provide a safe and supportive space to learn, to feel empowered and included and to experience being a part of a like-minded community that promotes change and a valuable sense of purpose and connection.
