Branching Out

About us

Branching Out is a small local charity that was formed in 1994 to support adults with learning disabilities in the local community and to help them lead active and fulfilling lives. Over this time the charity has evolved into a well-recognised and respected day service provider in the town of Littleport. The charity currently supports 38 individuals in a variety of work-based activities.

The work we do is to help individuals with learning disabilities have as many opportunities as possible. We are not a profit-making organisation. All income we generate goes back into providing resources and support. This allows us to specialise in outcome-based support using person centred plans.

There are different opportunities for individuals at different times of the year these include gardening skills, making dog biscuits for sale and community involvement. This includes the maintenance of the village planters.

We promote empowerment and self-confidence through practical and hands on tasks. We make a huge variety of home décor and craft products that are sold to raise funds for the charity.

The products the service users make at Branching Out are sold in our shop and craft fairs. This promotes self-belief, achievement and a job well done !

The charity shop also sells second hand items to generate funding for our service users.

The charity continues to grow and welcomes visitors to come see us.
