Flexible, customised training and support for people and communities locally and nationally
We fit our training to the person, the community and the context.
Different people, different communities, different problems: at Adept, we've decades of experience of working with and in all kinds of community groups.
As a result, we've come to understand just how many and varied people's training needs can be.
We've devised, developed and delivered training for communities from Brighton to Sheffield, from Nottingham to West Wales - helping local authorities and other agencies to provide just what suits the needs of their wonderfully diverse target communities.
We've acted as consultants on community development policy and practice, both locally and at a national government level.
Our feet are on the ground - our roots are in hands-on, local community development.

Different people, different communities, different problems.
ADEPT has decades of experience of supporting and championing community activism.
Local communities are at the heart of what we do - supporting self-help, independence and self-determination.
We offer training and development packages to those workers who engage with local communities to enhance their own service delivery.
We can tailor a package of support to your needs - unique to your area and focusing on the needs of specific communities.
We are unusual in operating at a national level while delivering real work embedded in local neighbourhoods, so bringing added value to the services we provide.
