Us In A Bus

Us In A Bus is an independent, not-for-profit organisation working with people who are often isolated and can seem ‘difficult to reach’.

Our clients are people with profound learning difficulties. They may find the everyday things that we take for granted – talking to friends, sharing a joke, choosing what to eat – a huge challenge. This may also be because many will have complex needs, often physical, which can make life difficult.

What Us in a Bus aims to do is to cut through some of these complexities and concentrate on what makes us all the same: the need to connect and communicate with each other in a way that means something to us.

In practice this means getting to know our clients, normally on a one to one basis in their homes, and then developing ideas and actions that may lead to a connection being made. This might, for example, mean playing a simple game; creating a sound or a song; testing and exploring different textures or simply initiating a touch of the hand.
