MIDWAY Abbey Road Service
Abbey road services is located in the centre of Navan town opposite the local V.E.C. Currently our centre provides a range of programmes to a core group of twenty team members commensurate with their needs. Through the person centred planning (PCP) process our clients can access options within the wider community Current activities include leisure as well as personal development.

Abbey road has been involved in golfing competitions at different regions around the country and are part of the entry in Special Olympics in this category for 2010.We are also entering four participants in the X factor competition in Cork in June of 2010 categories to include singing/ dance/ drama.
     

Work Placements

As part of our centre based activities preparation to secure work placement is one of the programme priorities in Abbey road. For more information please click here to see Work link
Our job club is scheduled during the week which allows new referrals to the world of work to learn about the principles of work and creates a forum to discuss same. This activity is carried out in our Kennedy Road Centre and groups can be divided into those who have yet to secure a work placement [this could be job sampling or work experience] and those whom already work and continue to do so.
     

Advocacy

Advocacy is rotated between small groups and facilitated by a member of staff. Currently a new training package is been rolled out by the support staff member between groups to help team members learn the principles of what advocacy is and how they can apply it to their own every day lives. This activity is also based in Kennedy Road Centre.
     

Education

There are a number of team members who also attend the local V.E.C. on a pre leaving certificate course full time 4 days per week. Some team members also attend D.K.I.T. in Dundalk and this is an accredited course with fulltime attendance 3days per week. For more information please click here to see C.C.L. link.
