Day activities

Based in a community-friendly centre, The Hive in Withington, L'Arche Day Activities aims to provide bespoke and meaningful day opportunities and support for people with learning disabilities in Manchester.

People focus on learning new skills and working towards personal goals and aspirations. They can take part in varied projects: L'Bee Tea Room, 'Gardeners Wild' garden and The Hive Arts and Crafts studio.

At L'Arche we celebrate people with learning disabilities and build circles of support around them. It is this focus on building relationships and cultivating a sense of belonging that makes us different from other service providers.
