New North West Office
We are thrilled to announce that on the 19th of March, we officially opened our new office in the North West! This was a huge step forward in our mission of Supporting people with a learning disability or autism to live, learn and work.
The new office allows us to provide a range of courses designed to empower participants and help them achieve their goals, including Employability Skills Training, Travel Training, Money Management and Online Safety. Additionally, we plan on running well-being initiatives focused on breaking down barriers to employment and volunteering opportunities.
Inclusive Workplaces
Our CEO, Cara Cash Marley, shared her enthusiasm for the new office, stating,
“While we currently support a growing group of participants through SkillSET, we have the capacity to expand significantly and reach even more individuals. The new set-up will allow us to enhance our training delivery and facilitate greater outreach within Derry, Limavady, and Strabane.”
By working closely with employers and the local community, we aim to create more inclusive workplaces and help individuals gain the confidence and skills they need to Live, Learn and Work.
Speaking about the new facility, the Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District, said,
“I am delighted to welcome Orchardville Training & Support Services to our city, a facility that will make a real difference in the lives of people with complex needs. By providing essential training and working closely with employers, Orchardville is not only creating opportunities for people who are uniquely challenged but also helping to build a more inclusive and supportive workforce. This is a fantastic step forward for our community, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on so many lives.”
The support from the community has been incredible, and we are excited for this new chapter.
