Pure Innovations

Pure Innovations Pure is a charity supporting people with a disability and disadvantaged people to fulfil their potential.

This page is for people we support in Greater Manchester. Pure became an independent charity following a TUPE transfer from Stockport Council in 2005. We are a values led, creative organisation and our objectives are to promote independence, increase choice and provide appropriate support to people to enable them to make the most of their capacity and potential. In 1987 Employment Services was a part of Stockport Borough Council, providing employment opportunities and day care for people with a Learning Disability. We began a journey to modernise traditional day care across Stockport, moving away from larger institutions into smaller, community based settings. This move came from a strong belief in the philosophy that if we can support people to hold valued roles within communities then people with a disability would feel valued, and be recognised by others to have value. In 2005 we left the Local Authority and set up the charity Pure Innovations, continuing our vision to support a diverse range of people to live independent, healthy and valued lives in their communities. Today, we continue with our aim of supporting people to have a fulfilled life, with a sense of purpose and belonging. This can mean different things to different people and so Pure Innovations strives to provide a wide and varied offer, ranging from employment, volunteering and independent life skills to pursuing a variety of hobbies and interests. Our values have not changed over the years and have become a part of our DNA. We will be aspirational and believe in people’s ability to achieve amazing things even when they don’t believe it themselves.

We received some wonderful feedback from a parent whose son, BW, has just started travel training with Harris, one of our trainers:

"Last Thursday, BW came home from school like a different person. He actually sat with me and spoke about his journey home from school with Harris, how they'd played the same game and shared an interest in gaming!

I was impressed and thought I'd let you know because it made me so happy, for BW to open up like that, instead of going up to his room and hibernating!

It's really nice that he can chat with Harris like that."

The first step with our travel trainees is all about building trust and rapport, finding common ground, and being approachable. This connection is key to supporting our clients and helping them successfully complete travel training👏

A busy and delicious morning at Hub 422! 🙌

The team are using their new visual timetables to structure the day, and Shahidul has been mastering the coffee machine.

The veggie lasagne they made this morning is already a hit, with a slice sold before 12! It smells absolutely amazing in here 😋

Ethan has started his journey on the Getting Into Football programme with Stockport County FC, and he’s already making fantastic progress! ⚽

He’s hoping to learn more about the role of a Grounds Person at the club, gaining hands-on experience and exploring the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the pitch match-ready.

We’re so excited to see how Ethan’s skills and confidence grow as he continues on this brilliant opportunity! 💪💙
