The Outdoor Place

Who We Are

Set in a lovely calm environment with fully qualified and very experienced SEN and behavioural management staff, The Outdoor Place is a wonderful space for our young adults to explore and learn whilst having the space they need to be ‘them’. The education programme is run over 3 days per week for 36 weeks. We also provide an all year round adventure programme including residential courses and expeditions as an AAP for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards.

What We Do

The Outdoor Place works with the local community providing an outdoor space for all to learn and explore (inclusive of those with SEN, learning difficulties, autism and disadvantaged backgrounds). Watching their self-confidence and personal tolerance levels improve is a most rewarding experience for all. Through the various challenges and adventures, we can help our learners discover themselves and better understand others, whilst learning new skills.

The Outdoor Place CIC is an alternative education centre for young adults with Autism looking at voluntary or paid work in the future. We setup the ‘bespoke education programme’ in 2021, where we work with small cohorts of up to 5 young adults and provide a work experience project based around the needs, ambitions and requirements of the young adults.

We offer an outdoor provision for the young adults to gain experience and qualifications in a ‘classroom without walls’.

Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change (CN4C)

Who We Are

Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change is a community organisation that believes that the current system is unfair and people do not have equal opportunities to meet their basic needs and make their lives better. We challenge the system where we see it is broken and work with people and organisations to make Cornwall fairer. CN4C bring communities together to do the things that matter most, providing people with opportunities to live their best life, become better off and to make better sense of the system. We work to connect people with opportunity and invest in communities providing crisis support, job search, learning and skills training, social groups, cooking courses, wellbeing activities and allotment schemes.

Transferable Skills Training

Who We Are

Transferable Skills Training (TST) is an education and training centre specialising in teaching vocational skills to young people. TST was established in 2004 to work primarily with young people who have fallen outside mainstream education or training, offering a provision to 14-19 year olds alongside young adults with educational healthcare plans up to the age of 24. We have a flexible and individual approach to re-engaging these young people, by providing personalised learning programmes, taking into account a learners starting point, planned destination, personal and social development. TST learning programmes have been designed to ensure all learners leave us with more than just a qualification, they are competent in their career planning, undertake work experience, independent living skills and personal development to ensure they have the very best start for their adult and working lives.

What We Do

Where needed, our learners are given full support with all aspects of personal and social development alongside their educational programme. We have an open-door counselling policy where students can access help at the point of need, and we will arrange more specialist counselling where needed.

TST has a rolling programme of education, whereby learners can engage with us at any point during the academic year.
