Basics Plus was formed in 1990 to provide training and work experience for people with special needs. Over the years the organisation has developed projects which not only benefit people with learning disabilities but provides valued and much needed services to the local community. Through a range of activities Basics Plus is making a significant contribution to Scarborough’s rapidly expanding social economy.

The Fun Casino evening comprised of a two course meal, entertainment by the Julie Hatton Dancers and casino games. 120 guests attended the evening.
