Providence LINC United Services (PLUS)

PLUS is a social care provider supporting adults with learning disabilities to live within the community.  We work with adults of all ages, supporting young people leaving home, people with complex health and care needs, people with challenging behaviours and pre-independence training towards increased independence.  We’re experienced in working with people with learning disabilities who develop dementia and we provide end-of-life care, working in partnership with palliative care teams.  Several of our houses are adapted for use by people with physical disabilities.  Other services are expert in supporting adults with autistic spectrum conditions.  In all services, we support people to develop skills and achieve their full potential.

We offer support to develop employment skills, including supported employment in:

  • Pretty Little Cupcakes, a social enterprise operating from a coffee and cake shop in Penge High Street and support to access open employment. People also attend our popular cupcakes workshops where they are supported to make and decorate cakes. We also offer iPad workshops for people with learning disabilities where people can learn about the range of things they can do on a tablet computer.
  • Allotment Group We run an allotment group at Spa Hill Allotment enabling adults with learning disabilities to grow, cook, eat and share their own food in a social environment undertaking a therapeutic activity.
