Integration is a key part of the Cambian ethos. Home may be where the heart is but a community is where you experience true fulfilment and at Stratford Lodge we strive to build strong positive relationships between our young adults and as many key vocational and social activities in the community as possible.

How they are accessed and which services are accessed is of course bespoke and down to the individual but here are just a few of the pre-established links we can offer:
