ORCHARDVILLE TRC | NORTH BELFAST
We are a Club for adults within Greater Belfast with learning disabilities. The Club provides a
range of social activities and opportunities to learn life skills. The aim is to ensure that people
with learning disabilities are not socially excluded but instead have opportunities to socialise,
learn new skills, and take part in the activities within the community.
The Club is supported by Belfast Health and Social Services Trust and has workers from
Orchardville Training and Education Centre to assist with its activities. The Club's users have
a key say in deciding upon its programme of activities. The Club encourages those attending
its groups to make their own choices and gain the confidence to live more independently.
For example specialist help is provided to encourage independent travel and own use of
community services and facilities. The ETC Club provides educational and employment advice
and provides its users with regular contact with health care professionals such as dieticians
and psychologists.
