At Shekinah, we believe that meaningful occupation plays a crucial role in building confidence, self-worth, and a sense of purpose. Whether through employment, training, volunteering, or creative activities, we support individuals in finding fulfilling opportunities that align with their skills and aspirations.
Creative & Therapeutic Activities
Engagement in arts, crafts, and other creative activities provides an outlet for self-expression and personal development. From woodworking to art workshops, we encourage individuals to explore new interests in a supportive environment. You can see details of Learning Exchange courses which gives an overview in Plymouth and Torbay by clicking the link below.
Training
Shekinah’s training courses at Stonehouse Creek in Plymouth offers a range of flexible and personalised programmes, which are designed to help people to move forward at their own pace, from wherever they are. “If we can’t help, we know someone who can” through our links to partnership organisations.
Whatever your choice of course, you will be given the tools to develop healthier skills to deal with all the challenges that life can bring and move into a more positive and purposeful future.

To be eligible for IPS, people must be in supported treatment for either drugs or alcohol. IPS utilises a personalised, strength-based approach to empower people in securing and sustaining employment. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) also provides in-work support to both employers and employees to help people remain in their job roles with the help from their Employment Specialists.

Volunteering
Volunteering can be a stepping stone to employment, a way to give back to the community, or simply an opportunity to meet new people. We offer a variety of volunteer roles, allowing individuals to contribute their time and skills while making a real difference.

We understand that everyone’s journey is different. Our holistic approach ensures that we provide the right support at the right time, empowering individuals to move forward with confidence and independence.
