Teenvine Plus 

Grapevine wants learning disabled youngsters to have the relationships, confidence and skills they need in order to mature into independent young adults able to achieve their ambitions.

Teenvine Plus works intensively with around 20 young people a year who each get:

  • A plan for the young adult life they want
  • A sustainable circle of supporters to help implement it
  • A young non-disabled volunteer who will strengthen their voice and help navigate hurdles
  • The support of an advocate when dealing with school, college and other care or support services.
