Through Your Choices

• T.Y.C started as a youth club way back in 2001 we found that there was nothing to do on an evening for young people with learning disabilities in the Wetherby area, So we started T.Y.C

• We needed to move on with this as our members were getting older telling us they wanted to do more things in their own community.

Though Your ChoicesWe created a group for young adults to be able to do all thethings the members wanted to do, • Go to the pub• Go watch a movie• Go out for meals• Meet different people

With the personalisation agenda coming in this was the way we moved it forward,Through personal budget or self funding we can offer you asafe place to be with good support that means you can go into the world and do the things you want to do.
