Daylight: Day Centre for Adults with Learning Disabilities
IslingtonDaylight reopened in August 2021 with a phased approach to resuming normal day services following Islington Public Health advice.
The service is prioritising people assessed by Islington Learning Disabilities Partnership (ILDP, see Related Services) as having moderate-to-complex high level of needs that cannot be met without day service provision.
Daylight is a day service for adults with varying degrees of learning disabilities. Learning disabilities has to be the primary disability, however a lot of people using Daylight have additional physical needs, with some under dual diagnosis.
The service is increasingly outcome focused, and tries to meet the identified needs of an individual so that they can develop new skills and lead as independent a life as possible.
Integrating into the community and using facilities in the community are integral parts of the service at Daylight.
On-site activities include:
- catering
- art
- drama
- music
- Boccia
- gardening
- massage
- multi-sensory
- pottery
- communication sessions
- computer sessions
Community access includes:
- swimming
- museums
- galleries
- bowling
- trampolining
- history tours
- pedal power
