Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

We specialise in providing services for people who have profound learning disabilities and/or complex needs, can seem to be "difficult to reach" and all of whom find communication a challenge. The aim of our work is to create opportunities for people to fully express themselves. The therapeutic impact of this can be seen in people's increased confidence and willingness to engage with others.
