Pathways Durham Hub

Pathways Durham Hub, located within the Durham County Council area in Durham, provides a safe and welcoming environment for children and adults with disabilities. This dedicated hub offers diverse multi-sensory and enriching therapeutic activities designed to foster overall well-being and development. Participants are encouraged to explore creative expression through engaging interactive music and drama events.

Innovative sensory tools, such as the Magic Carpet, further support creativity by projecting interactive games and images that encourage imaginative play and unique self-expression through visual, auditory, and tactile stimulation. The hub significantly enhances physical skills and fitness through a variety of specialist services. Rebound therapy, utilising trampolines, improves movement patterns and provides therapeutic positioning, exercise, and recreation. Hydrotherapy promotes physical wellbeing and relieves discomfort through the use of water.

Dedicated posture care supports and protects body shape using specialised equipment and positioning techniques, alongside positional changes facilitated by items like water beds and tilt tables. Additionally, specially adapted sports and games are offered to ensure comprehensive physical development for all participants. Pathways Durham Hub also champions social and emotional wellbeing through its therapeutic services and multi-sensory engagements. These include Reiki, which promotes relaxation and a sense of calm, alongside interactive music and drama events that foster social connection and emotional expression.

Practical life skills are developed via engaging food awareness and cookery sessions, empowering individuals with essential daily living abilities. A wide array of courses and events additionally provides valuable learning pathways for adults, broadening their horizons. All programmes are expertly designed by qualified professionals, including specialist speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists, providing tailored support.

This commitment ensures a consistently positive and engaging atmosphere, prioritising a secure and nurturing setting that offers a great welcome to everyone, with oversight from the Care Quality Commission.
