Living at this service

Burton would be ideal for an able-bodied, sociable person aged between 30 and 50 with learning disabilities. All of the people we support like to spend time in the community. One works one day a week in the local area. At Burton, people choose how they spend their time - as a group, we often go out for lunch in the local area, as well as taking regular day trips to the coast, Blackpool, Skegness, and the zoo.
