Hensingham Day Services, Whitehaven

Organisation: Cumberland Council

Hensingham Centre provides experienced and specialised support for adults with complex and profound learning disabilities.

Discover the difference
At Hensingham Centre, we specialise in supporting adults with complex and profound learning disabilities - offering not just care, but a vibrant, enriching experience tailored to each individual.

Our dedicated team of highly trained professionals takes a person-centred approach, ensuring that every individual's unique needs, preferences, and aspirations are at the heart of everything we do.

We go beyond traditional “day care.” Hensingham Centre is a place where people can build meaningful connections, form lasting friendships, and unlock their full potential. We empower those who attend to make choices about what they want to do, how they want to do it, and where they want to go, supporting them every step of the way in achieving their goals.

Here, you’ll find opportunities to explore new interests, develop valuable life skills, and enjoy immersive, inclusive activities that open up a world of possibilities, including:

rebound therapy
hydrotherapy
pet therapy
community inclusion
life skills development
sensory and relaxation spaces
drama and music
virtual reality experiences
Communication at the heart
Our team is deeply committed to person-centred care. We communicate with each individual in their preferred way and continuously adapt our timetable to reflect their evolving interests and goals. We proudly collaborate with national charities to promote inclusive communication, ensuring everyone has a voice.

Team spirit
Hensingham proudly participates in our day service football team, ‘Workington Diamond Warriors’, part of the Learning Disability FA League—promoting teamwork, fitness, and fun.

Whether you're looking to try something new, build confidence, or simply enjoy a fulfilling day, Hensingham Centre is here to support and inspire.
