Support For People With Learning Disabilities
For the past 19 years we have supported people with a learning disability, including those with associated needs such as autism, physical disabilities, communication needs, challenging behaviour, epilepsy and sensory disabilities.

We are committed to personally tailored support, and to people taking more control of their own lives. We contract directly with people, their families and advocates through Individual Budgets, the Independent Living Fund and direct payments. We also contract directly with families who are appointees and support brokers. We have support contracts with local authorities.

Each person, and the people important to them, works with us to find out what they
want to achieve and how they want to be supported - whether for a few hours per week or 24 hours a day.
Flexibility is key to our service. Our staff are specially trained to ensure each person gets the specific support they need.
