Story
Yellow Submarine is an award-winning Oxfordshire charity that believes people with learning disabilities and autism deserve to live life to the full.
We tackle the problem that many people with learning disabilities leave school with limited life skills and as a result poor life chances. This often leads to isolation and being marginalised. Our projects start working with young people in community settings from the age of 11 onwards, to build their social skills, confidence, independence and ultimately their employability. At the same time we are supporting families and carers with respite.
What makes us different? The same team of staff assist young people on their journey through childhood into adulthood, allowing us to gain trust and a real insight as to how best create a person-centered plan to support each individual. We are willing to go the extra mile and are unashamedly ambitious to make things better. Our approaches have an emphasis on fun and innovation, embracing enterprise and technology.
The terms learning disability and autism cover a huge variety of needs. Our specialism is helping individuals with mild to moderate needs. Find out about our projects here .
Our #TeamYellowSubmarine runners are making a huge difference to our members lives as every penny raised helps us reach our goals and support members to live life to the full.
