Employment Programme
Many adults struggle to get into employment due to an accident, mental illness or lack of self-confidence. Our employment programme will provide the support needed to re-enter the job market.
Adults with a disability, long-term illness, or those experiencing minor to moderate health disorders who are wanting to get into work could get the support they are needing through this programme. Clients will be referred to us and will receive a recovery support plan. We aim to build our clients' confidence and make them more able to work through volunteering opportunities and work experience placements.

The New Horizons Monday Club
Held every Monday and commissioned by Bradford Council, New Horizons acts as a day centre social gathering place for older people - particularly those who may be frail or have no family or friend support networks living nearby.
The Monday sessions include games, talks and activities that encourage both physical and mental activity. Everyone coming along enjoys a light breakfast, a two-course hot lunch and afternoon tea. Club members are either referred to us or self-refer but for health and safety reasons, attendance is subject to prior agreement and subject to a small weekly subscription fee.
PLEASE NOTE - Due to the Coronavirus New Horizons will be suspending services until further notice. This will be reviewed on a weekly basis. All participants will be informed.
If any further contact is needed please contact Royds Community Association.
