Loddon Social Enterprise is a charity which has been providing adult day care services in Basingstoke since 1976.
It seeks to provide a safe and fun workshop environment for adults with learning disabilities. It is a place where they can gain experience and training in basic assembling tasks as well as an understanding of working disciplines, time keeping, working in teams, communication and social skills.
We work closely with Hampshire County Council Adult’s Health and Care service and other local agencies to ensure that the needs of our Service Users match closely with our service offer to ensure a sustainable positive experience and outcome for all involved.
Our core service ethos is to provide a bright, cheerful and happy environment where our service users feel safe, cared for and fulfilled during their time in the workshop as well as having fun!
We operate in a safe, secure building with all the facilities you would expect in a modern workplace. We seek to provide different types of work to prepare our Service Users with the skills required to move on to secure a place in mainstream employment, should they so desire.
“My son has been attending Loddon for 6 months and he has been made to feel so welcome and part of the team. He is always keen to go and comes home happy. We have now been lucky enough to increase his hours there. Thank you to all of the team for helping him to settle and for being patient and supportive to us as parents, as well as towards our son.”
