About Us

A bit more about who we are

Our Story

Ocean Choices, a unique not-for-profit Community Interest Company, provides creative and life skills and opportunities to people with learning disabilities in South Tyneside.
We also provide day support for people living with dementia.

We offer a range of creative activities that encourage people to develop greater independence eventually.

We aim to highlight the skills, talents and abilities of our service users and to challenge the wider community perception of people with learning disabilities and importantly to set outcomes for everyone.

With the help of a personal development plan, we provide learning disability support services for individuals in a safe, supportive and therapeutic environment. We are encouraging our service users to learn and self-develop and people living with dementia to retain their independence for as long as possible. Our service looks after clients with learning disabilities, mental health conditions and complex emotional and behavioural needs including autism.

We emphasize the significance of providing personalized education, employment, and leisure opportunities to support everyone’s ongoing development.

We support our staff through effective management, training opportunities, and career progression. We are committed to providing our employees with the best training available, ensuring that our service users are always cared for by highly experienced social care workers.

Founded in 2010 as a voluntary community organisation Ocean Choices is now a Community Interest Company which provides creative opportunities to people with learning disabilities in South Tyneside.
