The Midlands and Gloucestershire
We deliver highly personalised support to individuals with a wide range of needs including: learning disabilities, profound and multiple learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, sensory needs and dual diagnoses. We do this through supported living, floating support and residential services.
Two of our residential services are in converted farmhouses and both are set in large grounds with orchards, paddocks and gardens. This has allowed us to build and share skill in animal care and we have chickens and some prize winning sheep.
Our region covers Newent, Tewkesbury, and Bishops Cleeve in Gloucestershire, Tamworth in Staffordshire and Gorsley, Ross-On-Wye & Ledbury in Herefordshire where our regional office is also located.
We also provide education and skills development support which aims to engage adults with learning disabilities in meaningful daytime group activities as well as supported employment where staff specialise in developing employment opportunities for adults with disabilities.
