What We Offer
Bennachie Horizon is a Training Service
Designed for Adults with Learning Disabilities.
We offer meaningful, practical learning activities in a supportive, friendly setting. Everything we do is about building confidence, developing life skills, social connections and encouraging personal development.
Bennachie Horizon CIC provides non-formal education and vocational training for adults with learning disabilities. Our activities are designed to deliver structured learning outcomes in areas such as social skills, independence, community participation, and environmental responsibility.
Our Activities
Outdoor Work
We spend time outside in a way that feels calm, structured, and meaningful.
Trainees get involved with light gardening, planting, wildlife care, and looking after shared spaces. It’s a chance to enjoy the fresh air, learn gentle responsibility, and feel grounded in nature.
Who We Are For
We welcome referrals from Social Work under SDS Option 1 and Option 2 or direct (private/self-funded) inquiries.
Future Service Notice
As we grow, Bennachie Horizon CIC will continue to expand the range of structured learning activities on offer, always focused on education, skills development, and personal growth.
Bennachie Horizon is a new training service based in Aberdeenshire, created for people who enjoy work-based activities, enjoy being outdoors, enjoy learning new skills and who want to build friendships.
