Speaking of how it all began, Sue said: "Hazel and originally worked in Weymouth College of adults with learning difficulties set in 2006, the government held full-time courses financing our students in a weak position to leave ..
"We always wanted to start something that was independent of the university, so we took the plunge and went for it and here we are celebrating 10 years -. It's incredible.
"At first we organized and led groups in the churches of Weymouth and Dorchester -. This friendly, we do it for free And as we continue to grow.
"One of our favorite groups is the art of the group stage. We have many of us who learn about what people like to get into the scene creatively. And within this group, to sing and learn to dance communication skills and like working on a project to work together.
"We also have a team of blue fish Own Blue Fish Cafe in Chiswell.
"They all have their responsibility than anyone else. It is probably one of the most valuable things we do, the people the opportunity to work. They are proud to put on his uniform and go to work.
"Everything is carefully designed so that each person works to achieve its objectives. It is so that they become more independent."
In future Hazel added: "We are to continue to grow is what we do, that people who come here are older their activity can change ideas, and we are changing with it to meet their needs.".
