MyTime Chertsey is a service for adults aged 18 and over who have a learning disability and additional needs such as mental health issues, challenging behaviours, autism or epilepsy.
We offer a broad spectrum of tailored day opportunities and work with people using our service, and their carers (including friends, family, advocates and other professionals), to provide individualised support, and develop their strengths and aspirations.
