07/01/21 – Update – In line with Government guidelines concerning all education WELLIES is once again operating on a distance learning basis only.  We will continue in this format for the Spring 2021 term.

We will support all our current learners through this period however we are unable to accept new referrals at this time. Please call, email or message us after Easter if you would like to attend/refer someone to our Summer programme. 

Thank you for your understanding and we hope to see you all again very soon.

“I am so passionate about Wellies, the project has helped me to progress and grow as a person, I no longer sit at home unable to leave the house feeling depressed and anxious. I have learned to socialise with others, learnt new skills. I am the old me that I used to be. I do not know where I would be without this project “
