ARRCC is a registered charity providing a range of support, advice and training opportunities for physically and sensory impaired adults and those living with dementia. ARRCC tries to give disabled adults the confidence to make the most of their lives and give them access to all the opportunities available to the wider community.
They aim to rebuild lives and equip our members with the skills they need to face the future with confidence and optimism. They do this by providing a holistic approach to service provision, creating opportunities to access educational, recreational and therapeutic facilities.
ARRCC enables people to live independently through providing support services. The organisation currently provides services four days a week at Rye Creative Centre and three days a week for the elderly at ARRCC Elders at Magdala House in Ferry Road.
Their independent living service is growing rapidly, as are the social enterprises in the form of the Furniture Warehouse at the Rye Creative Centre and Pre-Loved Fashion and Homeware, a high-end charity shop (pictured, top).
A number of fundraising events are held throughout the year at the RCC, ranging from theatre shows and gigs to quiz nights and exhibitions in the theatre and gallery spaces as well as external events such as open gardens and fashion shows.
