Just the same as people without Special Needs, people with special needs have the right to live a happy and fulfilled life and enjoy dignity and respect from others. They have their own likes and dislikes, their own preferences, hobbies, interests and circle of friends.

Diamond Care and Support facilitate and enable them to access these choices whilst maintaining existing friendships/relationships and developing new ones. We encourage people to experience new things and take up new opportunities that arise, whether that be social, educational, leisure or indeed employment.
