About us

Wayfarers Day Centre is a day service provided by Shropshire Council for adults with learning disabilities. Wayfarers is based in Market Drayton, and approximately 20 people access our service on a daily basis, taking part in a range of meaningful activities. We aim to maximise independence and offer choice.

Wayfarers is able to offer a range of experiences in the following areas:

  • Coffee shop
  • Independent living skills
  • Physical activities/sports
  • Leisure activities
  • Fishing
  • New sensory room
  • Sensory garden
  • Shop and cook Makaton

At Wayfarers we focus on providing an inclusive service and equal opportunities for all. We offer a wide range of activities and like to get out in the local community as much as possible.

As well as the regular activities we offer trips out and celebrate special occasions, which is always a great success! Service users have the choice of what/when these are.

Fundraising events take place all year round, including a virtual row of the River Severn and festive fairs.
