Dumfries Activity and Resource Centre provides support, activities and personal development opportunities for people with learning disabilities, autism disorders and brain injuries.
We also work with schools and social work services to support school leavers to make the transition to the service.
Referrals
To attend this centre, please speak to your social worker. If you do not have a social worker, you can request to have a social care assessment.

We will support you to develop life skills, build relationships with other people which will enable you to take part in your local community.
We support family or carers, by providing information and signpost to a range of services which can offer guidance and practical support. We provide a range of activities at specific times of the year.
