Funding Partnerships
Our Funding Partnerships team’s goal is to build mutually rewarding relationships with funding partners. These include grant making organisations as well as philanthropic individuals.
The team secures vital income for important projects that depend wholly on voluntary income. For prospective donors, this offers the satisfaction of being able to support the area of work that most interests them, with the knowledge that their donation is making an important contribution to improve the lives of learning-disabled adults.
Hft projects that are supporting people to live their life, their way:
Our friendship programme runs in two major regions, where we are taking a stand against loneliness to help reduce feelings of isolation experienced by so many learning-disabled adults across the country.
Capital Projects
Our Capital Build programme is providing innovative housing and services across England and Wales, to ensure that the learning-disabled adults in our care have access to the very best environments.
In 2023, building works began at our Shropshire and Staffordshire site to bring new, state-of-the-art, specially designed accommodation to the people we support, whilst providing them with greater opportunities for accessing their local community.
This year, we are focusing on refurbishing a number of services to enhance accessibility and provide a greater quality of life to learning-disabled adults. We are currently prioritising refurbishments in the following areas: kitchens, bathrooms, sleep-in rooms.
Specialist Care and Support Roles
By introducing a number of specialist roles across our services, we are providing a greater depth of bespoke support to the adults in our care, whilst enhancing relationship building, independence and individual choice.
