Our purpose is to help disabled people achieve and retain employment of more than 16 hrs per week, and all programmes are focused on and justified by that aim.

We are located on a pleasant and quiet 13.5 acre site 6 miles from the centre of Durham City, and have been working with disabled adults since 1943, when the College was established as a rehabilitation centre for disabled ex-servicemen. Our trainees come from all parts of England, Scotland and Wales because local provision does not meet their particular needs.

The Orpheus Centre is a performing arts centre for young disabled people, generally with physical and/or sensory impairments or learning difficulties. Since we started over 10 years ago, many young people have completed a Learning Programme with us and left us to go to college, live in their own flats and generally live life with a level of independence that they, their parents and social workers say would have been unthinkable without their years at Orpheus.We don't set out to train our students to be actors, singers or musicians
We use their enthusiasm for the performing arts to teach skills for living and improve self-knowledge, self-confidence and teamwork. We offer full and part time day places on our Learning Programme, as well as Residential Care, Supported Housing and Domiciliary Support Services.
