The Butterfly Project

The Butterfly Project is a newly established social enterprise based in Newham, East London that aims to support young people with learning disabilities during their transition into adult life. We do this by:

• SUPPORT PLANNING & BROKERAGE: assisting young people and their families to develop and implement bespoke support plans, including ongoing follow-up support;
• WORKSHOP PROGRAMME: encouraging young people into further education through designing a relevant and appropriate workshop programme, as well as by working closely with other education providers in the Borough;
• TRAINING: providing ongoing training, mentoring, advice and support to young people’s personal support assistants throughout the workshop programme, as well as bespoke training to family carers around specific areas such as employing staff and managing finances.
