The LIFE Project

Launching in September 2026

A brand-new day opportunities service in Harpenden for adults with learning disabilities. LIFE stands for:

  • Learning
  • Involvement
  • Friendship
  • Employment

Join us for fun, active, purposeful days. Meet new people and learn practical skills for daily living.

There will be two sessions per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with a break for lunch. Whether you want to get active, make new friends or just try something new, LIFE is about making every day count.

You can join in for just £15 per session.
