A pioneering provision for young adults with disabilities has a new city centre base.
Derby City Council’s Transition2 provides bespoke transition programmes, allowing young people aged 18-25 years with learning difficulties, learning disabilities, and/or autism to become active, engaged members of their communities.
Transition2 leaves its previous location of 14 years in Whitaker Road, Littleover, to move to Friar Gate Studios, at the heart of Derby’s Student Quarter. It will allow the college to expand its services with The World of Work programme, Supported Internships, a Sustainable Outcomes Service and a new Preparation for Adulthood SEND Hub.
Simon Hancox, Head of Service at Transition2, said: “Our move to a building in the heart of Derby’s Student Quarter offers an excellent opportunity for our learners to navigate the city alongside their peers as they head to their education and workplace destinations.
“Additionally, our central location opens up more opportunities for travel training and fostering valuable connections with families, local employers, adult social care, and health services.”
