Sarah’s journey to taking control
Sarah’s story shows how the right support helped her move from calling 999 repeatedly to feeling more in control of her mental health and daily life.
People are at the heart of everything we do.
For more than 60 years we have been providing a person-centred, community alternative to institutional care.
Our specialisms and expertise
Our dynamic approach to supporting people with complex support needs enables us to respond flexibly to people's changing requirements.
About our specialisms-
Learning disability
We support adults with a wide range of learning disabilities, and the physical health conditions that often go hand in hand with their diagnosis.
-
Autism
We offer tailored support for autistic people who often require a life time of specialist support.
-
Mental health
Many of the people we support have mental health needs. We support people who have severe mental illness, and who may also have additional support needs including substance use as well as learning disabilities or autism.
-
Acquired brain injury
We support people with mild to severe acquired brain injuries (ABI), where they need long term, perhaps lifetime care.

You can support our vital work
We rely on your generous support to achieve real transformation of people’s everyday lives. The iPad that gives someone a voice or the sensory room that opens up the world.
