It’s important to us that everyone feels a part of our local community, which is why we do things differently here at Sweet Surprise. 
Laughter, creativity and activities that reflect our people’s interests and talents make our day service a place to learn, grow and enjoy life. 
Working with local businesses, we’ve built up a network of work placement opportunities for our people to learn, grow and experience real jobs. 
Our shop and cafe are right in the centre of Ilminster, offering a vibrant meeting place for locals and a valuable space for our trainees to grow their skills. 

Our Story


We’re not just a day service for adults with learning disabilities and autism. It’s our mission to include everyone, patronise no-one and support people to be part of the town they live in. 

Everyone who comes to Sweet Surprise is welcomed to our community hub.  As a non-buildings based service that’s embedded in our community, our people can enjoy activities and outcome-based opportunities that are fulfilling beyond simply making trinkets to take home.
 
Since our start in 2009 we’ve grown naturally, meeting and supporting more people at our day service, through our work placements, and in our shop and cafe. 
 
Humour is at the heart of what we do, and we’re proud of the vibrant atmosphere that comes alive here every day.
