At Pen yr Enfys we are concerned with the ‘whole’ person and we believe social events and activities helps build self esteem and confidence, laying the foundations to rebuild lost support networks.

More and more activities are being organised and led by the people we support. As a result we have started a scheme designed to recognise individual achievement. The people we support can build their own portfolio which recognises the experiences and qualifications they have gained.

As a result of our activities, we are exploring the possibility of developing a social enterprise business based on our drop in services, which will hopefully provide further training and employment opportunities.
