Project
The Cedar Foundation’s Transitions Service
Purpose
Supporting 16- to 20-year-olds with physical, learning and sensory disability, brain injury and autism to make appropriate choices and meet their full potential when moving on from school
Funding
The Transitions Service costs around £300,000 a year to deliver. It is mostly funded by the Northern Ireland Executive’s Department for Communities and Northern Ireland’s five Health and Social Care Trusts
