Day care centre which is home from home for disabled youngsters
Life for young people can be difficult at the best of times.
For youngsters with disabilities or learning difficulties in can be even more alienating and frustrating. Thank goodness then for organisations like The Parchment Trust.
The charity, which has a base in Nelson Road, helps young adults with disabilities develop vital skills, increase their levels of independence and, most importantly, give them somewhere to make friends.
Dozens of people currently visit the charity's day centre, with some having been going four or five days a week for more than 10 years.
The Observer went down to Nelson Road to talk to staff and service users about what makes The Parchment Trust such a special and vital part of the the community here in Hastings.
