We are a charity and a thriving community of support
Living with complex disabilities can be overwhelming and isolating and getting the right support can be challenging.
For over 120 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to nurturing the potential of every child and young person we work with, who are living with multiple physical, medical and communication needs.
We are a thriving community of support for them and their families.
Our vision is of a society where individuals of all abilities are valued and no one is excluded because of their disability.
Our mission is to give disabled children and young people every opportunity to pursue their fullest potential.
Belonging - We are a community with a shared purpose. Everyone is accepted, everyone matters.
Commitment – Every day we strive to make a positive difference for the children, young people and their families.
Ambition – We have high expectations; 'OK' is never good enough.
Celebration – We celebrate what we achieve together.
