Our Team's Achievement

SHINE - An Alternative Provision

SHINE aims to equip 16-25 year-olds with the knowledge they need to take the next step in life. Whether you are looking to move to independent living, further education, or into the workplace for the first time, SHINE offers tailored packages to support the learning of adaptive skills focused on your aspirations.

At SHINE, Autism Somerset and You First Support Services work collaboratively deliver domiciliary and psychosocial education. This all takes place in a countryside cottage, allowing learners to connect with nature and explore passions alongside their education, such as gardening, tech workshops, and life skills.
