Building confident, connected lives.
At North Devon Cove, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to live a happy, fulfilling and meaningful life.
We are based at 30 Litchdon Street in the centre of Barnstaple. We are open Monday to
Friday 8:30 until 4:30 and we offer a full day provision.
We created The Cove because we have seen first-hand the challenges young people and their families can face when formal education comes to an end. We wanted to create a place where learning continues, friendships grow, confidence develops and independence is encouraged.
Activities could include
● Cooking & practical life skills
● Travel training & using public transport
● Social activities & building friendships
● Community activities & outings
● Work, volunteering & enterprise projects
● Creative activities
● Health, wellbeing & fitness
● Shopping, budgeting & money skills
● Gardening & allotment projects
● Developing independence & everyday living skills
● Personal development & continued learning
● Volunteering opportunities and work skills
We believe...
Everyone has potential
We focus on strengths, interests and possibilities.
Independence looks different for everyone
We support each person to achieve their own goals.
Everyone deserves to belong
Friendship, connection and community matter.
Everyone deserves a voice
People should have choice and control over their own lives.
Learning doesn’t stop when education ends
Every day experiences create opportunities to learn and grow.
