Projects
[edit]SCA Group has established several centres and groups that provide services to Southampton residents:[2]
- SCA Support Services (now SCA Transport) provides accessible transport services.
- The Quinn Centre provides National Vocational Qualifications and other training courses for carers in response to a shortage of training within Southampton.
