PASTEL
(Personal Development) Ltd was a new social enterprise
(formed in June 2005 by Parent/Carers) focussing on
young adults with additional needs - not only disadvantaged
by personal impairments and conditions, but also the
attitudes of others and their general environment.
PASTEL
aims to promote the personal and social development
of learners, so as to enhance their self esteem, their
aspirations and their contribution to the community.
In
2007 PASTEL put on its first client public performance
and, in October that same year, PASTEL was also granted
the status of a Community Interest Company, and changed
its nanme to PASTEL Community Interest Company.
In
2008 PASTEL became a nationally recognised Open College
Network training centre and delivered national accreditations
for its client in measuring their progress with the
PASTEL Transition Training programme.
In 2009 - 2010 PASTEL experimented with many new activities requested by clients and featured as a Big Lottery case history and received a grant from Suffolk County Council to further its work with multimedia training for clients.
In 2011 PASTEL won 2 awards. One for the most innovative training project as part of the natiobal Adults Learner Week and the second from Suffolk County Council for local community impact.
