TEENAGERS with disabilities have been finding out what's on offer after leaving school at an event at the Guildhall.

"What next?" is a question all youngsters have to consider when it's time to leave full-time education and decide what to do in adult life.

It's a tough choice, especially when they don't know what they want to do or what's available.

To help make that decision a little easier for young people aged 16 and over with disabilities, Plymouth City Council organised a 'transition' event.

This year's was the biggest yet with over 40 stands providing information on employment, training, education, leisure, housing and support services to young people, parents and carers.

Organisations with displays included the City College Plymouth, PLUSS, GHQ training and Plymouth Independent Living.

Lord Mayor Cllr Ken Foster officially opened the event at 12.30pm on Wednesday, October 28, and joined families for a free buffet lunch.

In the afternoon, parents and carers visited the annual 'Becoming 18' workshops for information about their child's transition to adult life, such as benefits and adult social care services.

Young people tried out free fun taster activities, including sessions with Plymouth Argyle disability coach Graham Eyles.

Cllr Grant Monahan, Cabinet member for children and young people, said: "The Transition event was about helping both young people who know what they want to do and those who want to consider their options.

"It was fantastic that so many young people, their families and carers came along to the event and discovered what a great range of opportunities there are on offer in our city."
