What We Offer
Bennachie Horizon is a Skills Development Service
Designed for Adults with Learning Disabilities.
We offer meaningful, practical activities in a supportive and friendly setting. Everything we do is focused on building confidence, developing life skills, strengthening social connections, and supporting personal development.
Bennachie Horizon CIC provides a community-based Skills Development service for adults with learning disabilities. Activities are designed to support individuals to take part, develop practical and social skills, and engage in their local community.
Our approach focuses on areas such as independence, communication, teamwork, community participation, and environmental awareness, with activities adapted to suit each individual’s abilities and needs.
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 activities on offer, always focused on skills development, informal learning and personal growth.
Bennachie Horizon is a new skills development 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.
