About us
Who we are
Journey Enterprises is a local charity which was founded by parents of young people with learning disability and complex needs 30 years ago. Launched in Northumberland we now operate across the north east.
The Charity provides life-skills and employability training for young people and adults with intellectual disability, and runs social enterprises within our local communities. Clients play a key part in the success of social enterprises by using the experience as a stepping stone to employment.
The conditions the Charity supports include Down’s Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Williams Syndrome, Fragile X and Soto’s and our Clients range in age from 16 to 75 years.
Journey believes passionately in enhancing quality of life and giving people with complex disability opportunities to lead happier and socially-inclusive lives in their home communities. Our services are developed on a person-centred approach, designed to meet each individual’s life ambitions and dreams. We work within each person’s circles of support, recognising the expertise and knowledge of the individual and of unpaid/family carers.
