Martin Jackaman Centre

Nottingham City Council has eligibility criteria to identify which citizens qualify for our day services. This prioritises access for those with high support needs. Generally, assessments are conducted by social work teams and the adult contact centre, although a few citizens make their own referrals to our services.

If you wish to buy into the service without assessment, then please contact the Martin Jackaman Centre directly for more details on the contact number at the end of this page.

Activities offered are a reflection of our attendees’ needs and preferences as identified by individuals with support from their families, carers, external partners and through our advocacy sessions at the centre.

We offer a diverse range of activities for adults with learning difficulties. Catering for a wide variety of support needs it aims to provide Citizens that attend opportunities that are imaginative, holistic, fun and therapeutic in safe and welcoming environments.

The Martin Jackaman Centre comprises its own Hydrotherapy Pool, supporting people to take part in sensory and therapeutic sessions as well as programmed exercise activities.

The hydrotherapy pool is accessible via a pool side lift meaning that people with profound physical difficulties are able to access the programme of activities in the pool.

The pool includes light and sound to support people with sensory and physical impairment whilst promoting health and wellbeing in ambient surroundings.

The staff team are at hand to ensure that people’s safety is respected and maintained whilst the pool is in use and we can seek support from the Physiotherapist team to develop support plans for people whilst in the pool.
