About us

Our aim is for people to live as independently as possible, making their own choices and decisions about their lives.

People with special care needs, learning disabilities, physical disabilities and mental health issues are enabled to live in their own home with the support they need to do so. This includes support to develop life skills to assist independent living, learning and working.
