Post19

What Post19 does

Post19 is a Life Skills and Support Centre based in Farnham, Surrey, UK, serving approximately 130 young adults aged 19-35 with learning difficulties, learning disabilities, and autism. The organisation operates a 50-week in-person programme structured around six thematic areas — Active, Creative, Technology, Life Skills, Vocational, and Sensory — delivered through 12 ability-matched groups across three physical sites in Farnham (Romans Industrial Park as the main site, St James' House, and a third Farnham location). Activity modules include graphic design, media and photography, music, dance, mechanics, woodworking, horticulture, sports, swimming, screenprinting, cooking, vehicle valeting, creative writing, and travel training, with individualised assessments used to place attendees in appropriate groups.

Underlying technology is minimal: Post19 is a service-based provider rather than a software company. Its digital footprint consists of a Shopify-powered website, a Facebook page with weekly art galleries, an Instagram account (@post_19), and a YouTube channel (@Post.19) featuring films produced by attendees. Enterprise19 operates as a wholly-owned social-enterprise subsidiary with its own Shopify storefront selling refurbished furniture, screenprinted goods, and other items produced by young adults at local markets and online.

The business model is commissioned care: services are funded through partnerships with the Surrey Clinical Commissioning Group and the Community Learning Disability Team within Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Trust, with fees likely negotiated per individual via NHS or local-authority funding rather than published rates. GTM is family/carer-driven, with prospective attendees introduced via health-partner referrals and converted through initial meetings and facility tours. Enterprise19's product sales are a marginal secondary stream. Leadership comprises Director Rob Power and General Manager Dan McCormack; the company is private, independently owned, and not backed by disclosed institutional investment.
