Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

In June 2007, The Shaftesbury Society merged with John Grooms, a fellow Christian charity providing care, support and holiday services for disabled people; from that date we transferred our activities together with those of John Grooms to Grooms-Shaftesbury, now formally known as Livability, creating the largest Christian disability charity in the country.
