Whether she’s guiding activities or creating beautiful crafts, she brings so much joy, patience, and creativity to our service users ✨

🍪 Baking day today! 🍪

Marble cupcakes and rocky road! 😍

Our lovely support worker Tammy whipped up some magic with all the service users today! Mixing, measuring, tasting, and creating the yummiest treats! The centre was filled with laughter, flour clouds, and the sweetest smells! 😋

Nothing beats the looks on their faces when those goodies came out of the oven! 👏💛

Who else loves a good baking session? What’s your favourite thing to bake? Drop it in the comments! 🍰

Mid week baking at the centre today! 🫶😍

Everyone actually decorated the biscuits once they were cooled but I wasn’t quick enough to get a photo before they were all snaffled down with a cup of tea! ☕️ 🤣💜

At Edmund street activity centre, adults with additional needs and learning disabilities come together to laugh, create, learn, and shine. We believe everyone deserves a place where they feel valued, supported, and genuinely happy! 🫶

We celebrate all learning disabilities — autism, Down syndrome, dyslexia, intellectual disabilities, and everything in between. Awareness isn’t just about understanding challenges; it’s about recognising the incredible strengths, talents, and personalities each person brings.
💛 If you know someone who might enjoy our centre, or if you’d like to volunteer, donate, or partner with us — we’d love to hear from you!
Together we can create more inclusive, joyful communities.
