Teaching adults with learning disabilities to live fulfilling lives in supportive communities
We teach life skills to people with learning disabilities to enable and encourage them to take part in community life through living, learning, earning, volunteering in supportive yorkshire communities. We provide education, friendship, safety, fun and everyday living and coping skills. We provide excellent residential care for a small number of beneficiaries at Brackenley Care Home in Harrogate and hope to continue to extend our range and reach of support to people with a learning disability.
Why the community needs usFor carers and families we are a trusted, reliable, caring and safe learning disability specialist support service. For beneficiaries we offer an extended family, a welcoming environment, friendship circles, social connection and a place to build up skills and try new things. For local authorities, and other residential services we provide a high quality, low cost care and support service able to offer accredited and informal adult education and day care.
