About Touchbase Care

Many people with disabilities and neurodiversity face barriers to opportunity, confidence, and inclusion, often limiting their ability to live independently and feel fully part of their community.

At Touchbase Care, we are working hard to change that. We aim to improve quality of life by offering a wide range of support, advice, and training opportunities designed to help individuals develop abilities, learn new skills, and build confidence. Through this, we promote greater social inclusion and empower people to live as independently and joyfully as possible.

About Touchbase Care

We want to improve the quality of life for our members by providing a range of support, advice and training opportunities to develop abilities, learn new skills, encourage social inclusion and enable people to live independently.

What We Do

At Touchbase Care, you can engage with nature through our wellbeing nature walks. Additionally, members can grow fresh produce at our community allotment, which is then used in the Touchbase Community Kitchen. For those with a creative spark, there’s access to a fully equipped ceramics room, IT suite, and art studio.

We take a holistic approach to care, which means you have the freedom to choose activities that suit your interests. Throughout the week, you’ll have access to massage therapy, art therapy, and a range of stimulating workshops. These sessions cover a variety of themes, offering something for everyone.

So, why get involved? Becoming part of our community means gaining access to meaningful support and diverse opportunities. Not only will you develop new skills in a socially inclusive environment, but you’ll also have more choice in how your care is delivered. Ultimately, we’re here to help you build independence and live life your way.

Express yourself in our art room

Our vibrant Art and Craft Studio is supported by talented local artists who help us offer a wide range of creative activities. Whether you’re painting to relax, exploring printmaking, or trying your hand at pottery, silversmithing, or dressmaking, we’ll do our best to support your interests and encourage your creativity.

Relax in the therapy room

In addition, your day at the centre can include holistic therapies such as massage or guided sessions with a qualified art therapist. Thanks to our experienced team of therapists, members can benefit from treatments that support both emotional and physical wellbeing.

Lights, camera, action in the IT suite

For those interested in media, we host a weekly workshop in film, photography, and animation. Here, members produce original work that’s showcased at screenings and on our YouTube channel, Touchbase Cinema.

Meanwhile, our fully equipped I.T. Suite is a welcoming space where members can learn essential computer skills—from browsing the internet to using Microsoft Office with confidence.

Find yourself at nature walks, grow at the allotment

Nature and outdoor learning are also a big part of life at Touchbase. We make the outdoors accessible for all, creating spaces where members can learn, grow, relax, and enhance their wellbeing.

“I like to make friends, to work in a team and learn about being safe. Touchbase is a friendly place with nice staff.”
