The Hesley Group

Richard Harvey, a 19 year old young man with Autism, has put his creative skills to work by penning a fictional adventure story for charity. Working with his staff at our Low Laithes Village site near Barnsley, Richard is raising money for three environmental charities through the sale of his book.

A large group of people supported at Low Laithes Village enjoy weekly rebound trampoline sessions. They have been working towards the ‘British Gymnastics Proficiency Trampoline Accreditation’ and the majority of individuals have now achieved foundation level.

Our two schools for young people with complex needs and severe learning difficulties, Wilsic Hall School, Wadworth, and Fullerton House School, Denaby both near Doncaster, have each been awarded outstanding status for Care by Ofsted.

Hesley Group will be exhibiting on Stand K100 at the forthcoming Education Show which is held annually at the NEC, Birmingham. This year it will take place from Thursday 15th March until Saturday 17th March.

Recent visits, a new face in the house and a new job delivering local newspapers for one of the young men.

A social enterprise set up and run by the people of Hesley Village so they would have an outlet to sell their quality goods made in the vocational workshops. It has been a successful work placement for seven people and also one student from Fullerton House School.
