Helping Individuals Succeed

Ucan is a social enterprise dedicated to equipping individuals who face challenges in their lives with key skills for independent living and work, while supporting them to live a positive and meaningful life.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower individuals to achieve maximum independence and lead fulfilling lives by nurturing essential skills and equipping them with the necessary practical tools.

We work with a diverse range of individuals, from those with learning disabilities to those confronting mental health challenges. Many among these individuals encounter obstacles such as low confidence, social anxiety, restricted independence, health issues, and limited opportunities. Our purpose is to help them overcome these barriers.

Offering a wide variety of fun and engaging activities, we aim to furnish individuals with tools that facilitate active engagement within their communities, enable them to make significant life decisions and experience a sense of accomplishment.

Take a look at just what it is we do every day at Ucan…

  • “I am extremely happy with the way you look after and teach my daughter Sara. Since first attending Ucan Sara has changed from a quiet girl lacking confidence to a more thoughtful girl with a massive increase in her confidence. She loves attending Ucan and both Sara and myself have nothing but praise for the staff.”

  • “The safe environment, taking time to recognise the trainees needs then tailoring what gives them the best support. Continuity of trainer and knowing when is appropriate to push them to reach their potential. Ucan plugs a huge gap that gives opportunities and aids independent living and the prospect of employment to people with complex needs that is not available anywhere else.”
