The Croft Centre is a creative and innovative community service providing person centred
programmes of activities for people with an autism spectrum disorder.
It provides each person with a wide range of social, leisure, recreational, educational, pre-vocational and
vocational opportunities based upon their specific needs, interests and wishes. This is a dynamic
service user led project and through the Events Committee and peer consultation the programme of
activities and events consistently responds to participants changing wishes and expectations.
Individuals are supported to participate in their preferred activities, by staff who have the skills,
knowledge and experience to provide high quality autism specific support, in a safe and structured environment.
The range of facilities on site include: an ICT suite, pottery workshop, a print room, dance studio, art
gallery, café, and hair and beauty salon. Social inclusion and integration are consistently promoted
and ESPA have established partnerships with a wider range of community groups and facilities to
further extend the range of opportunities and experiences available.
The Croft Centre is open Monday to Friday from 9.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. for 42 weeks of the year.
