PASTEL is 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 was also granted the status of a Community Interest Company.

In 2008 PASTEL plans to become a nationally recopgnised training centre and delivered national accreditations for its client in measuring their progress with the PASTEL Transition Training programme.
