What we do
Providing care and encouragement for people with learning and physical disabilities is the essence of our work. We provide a home, 24-hour care, a programme of personal development, work training and work experience for adults with a learning or physical disability. Quality of life is enhanced by involvement in a real choice of programmes, many of which are in our own self help ventures.

How you can help
We need volunteers who give us anything from just one day a year to two days a week.
Whatever time you have, we will be happy to have you as part of our team ... find out more about volunteering

We need funds and donations to continue our work both from companies and private individuals. You can help through GiftAid, Regular or Payroll giving, Donations and Legacies ... find out more about how you can support our work
