Renamed charity Project INDI has relaunched its community centre providing a safe space for individuals with additional needs.
The INDI Club in Sneyd Green, Stoke-on-Trent, offers a wide programme of activities, workshops and support services for the local community and has a large hall (with kitchen and bar facilities) available to hire for groups, classes, and special occasions.
The relaunch of the inclusive hub accompanies a re-branding exercise by the charity formerly known as the Helping Angels Charitable Organisation.
Project INDI’s key offering is day opportunities and social groups for those with additional needs, enabling them to socialise in a safe way that appeals to and supports their specific requirements.
Specialised activity programmes promote independence and social inclusion as well as emotional and physical wellbeing.
The charity’s growing community support includes free school holiday activities, SEND sessions for children and young people, inclusive work placements, community events and now private venue hire and catering.
Café INDI is a community focused café and training provision championing equal opportunities, in Burslem’s Grade 2 listed Victorian Park.
Chief Executive Officer Natasha Gratton said: “I am thrilled that we can officially announce our change to Project INDI.
“This name change signifies so much, it represents our core values, inclusion and diversity, but most of all it demonstrates our aim to better support the community that we operate in.
“This has been a long time coming and I am so thrilled with the result. We want to move away from the old version of day care and focus on building inclusive communities where everyone has a place in society.”
