About us
About TOPCATS
We offer support for young people and adults with additional needs from the age of 0 to 30 years old. We have a multi-purpose and ever-changing environment which is improving and growing every year with our continued fundraising efforts.
Why we exist
Our Aims
Fun, friendship and life skills
Topcats offers fun, friendship and the chance to build transferable life skills in an engaging and welcoming environment for young people with additional needs. Once a young person has joined Topcats, we ensure that we take time to get to know each individual and make sure they are at ease with a key worker who will support them to make their own choices.
Independence in a supported environment
As a team, it is our primary aim to help each individual develop their own social independence and life skills in order to reach their potential in a supported environment. In addition, we are able to supply young people with a vast range of exciting sensory, art, sport and music equipment, to help them build up their awareness of themselves and the world around them.
A dedicated, trained team
Topcats is proud of our dedicated support team which is led by specialised managers and overseen by a strong Board of Trustees. All staff hold a DBS check and have regular mandatory and specialised training. All staff are aware of the individual needs which may arise throughout the day and are trained to deal with them with sensitivity, respect and dignity.
