We provide day care for people in the Strabane district who are living with a physical or sensory impairment, and/or acquired brain injury and who are referred via the Western Health & Social Care Trust.

This project originally aimed at people within the Strabane area who are living with a physical and/or sensory disability and/or progressive illness has been extended to include individuals who have acquired brain injury and/or trauma who have more complex care needs. The age range of the group is 18-64 years. The project also offers some respite those Carers living with and caring for people with physical or sensory disability.

The function and purpose is to provide support which encourages and enables disabled people to avail of opportunities to play a full and equal part in society. The approach of the project is to offer support, enhance skills and confidence, promote independence thereby reduce the reliance on Day Care support. A major emphasis of this project is to build on examples of good practice and promoting social inclusion.

This service is by referral only. What services do we offer at our day centres? The centres offer a range of therapeutic activities to meet the social, educational, recreational, pre-vocational and vocational needs of those who use the centres.
