Why We're Running This Programme

At NDTi, we believe everyone deserves a good life, connected to and contributing to their communities. With years of knowledge and experience, we drive long-term, transformational change to improve the lives of often excluded groups, such as people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and older adults, enriching the lives of people working in services and the wider community. Community and Day Services play a huge role in people's lives and present an amazing opportunity to people and communities that are often untapped.

We recognise and understand the challenges of implementing changes in Day and Community Services, which impact many lives. Our expertise and innovative ideas will help you transition to a more inclusive and vibrant service, embedded within the local community - benefiting the people you support, their families, and carers and embedded within the local community.
