Originally Stranraer Skills Station's Management Team and Committee's plan was to support Adults with Learning Disabilities through their Support Service registered with the Care Inspectorate. However, the duo quickly identified a need to register as a Care at Home Service to enable Stranraer Skills Station to fully meet all needs of those using their services in the local community of Stranraer and surrounding areas.
More recently, with the expansion of Day Care Services, Stranraer Skills Station acquired additional new venues within our local community and town of Stranraer, to enhance and further develop its' Day Care Services for Adults with Additional and/ or Specialist Needs, where 1:1 support can be offered, also to offer Day Care Services for Older Adults in different locations to suit individuals, in small group, homely, comfortable and welcoming facilities .
