Pursuing Independent Paths

Pursuing Independent Paths PIP is committed to encouraging and empowering adults with learning disablilities to achieve their full potential. http://www.piponline.org.uk/

Leaving school or college and setting out on adult life is an exciting time for young people and their families. It also has its challenges and even more so if the young person has Down’s syndrome or a learning disability. For over 20 years PIP (Pursuing Independent Paths) has been passionately committed to improving the lives of young adults with learning disabilities in transition from education

by encouraging independence, choice and integration into mainstream society. We firmly believe that young people should be supported to shape their own futures based on their individual needs and preferences. PIP has developed over the years and we now employ eleven staff, and numerous volunteers who work with over 80 students each year to develop work and life skills and support networks in a friendly, accessible and energetic learning environment. We work in partnership with the local community, health and social services and local employers. Most importantly, the organisation and services are developed and managed through close consultation with the people with learning disabilities who access them.

Coming to a big screen near you next summer! PiP students and staff spent the weekend in Gosforth, Newcastle joining in a fantastic, inclusive production of a film coming out in 2027.

We made a proper weekend of it, with fish and chips in Whitley Bay and a bit of time sight-seeing in Newcastle.

The rest is a secret for now…
