creative, educational and
social activities for adults with
learning disabilities and support needs
Now Serving Four Counties!
We provide a range of creative and community based activities for adults with disabilities and support needs.
Based at York House, a wonderful venue with an excellent reputation for its community based work, in the historic and picturesque location of Stony Stratford - "The Jewel of Milton Keynes".
We are just a few minutes walk from all the amenities the town has to offer and only four miles from the centre of Milton Keynes.
Our programme includes: Art, Crafts, Photography, Performing Arts, Cooking, Out & About activities in the community. These include Swimming and Phoenix Wild, an animal interaction session.
We also offer a fortnightly Saturday programme with an exciting range of activities and visits.
PHOENIX RISING:MK was established in 2015 by Directors Adrian Pinckard & Sarah Bament, both of whom have over 30 years experience in teaching and educational management in both the mainstream and learning disability sectors. The staff team are also highly experienced and passionate about working with adults with support needs.
We also run regular social opportunities including the popular monthly ‘Open Mic’ evenings at The Cock Hotel in Stony Stratford.
We are a Community Interest Company (CIC) therefore all profits are re-invested back into our service.
