Celebrating 20 years of supporting people with a learning disability
For 20 years we have been designing and operating services for people with a learning disability, complex needs, physical disabilities and dual diagnosis. Our services put the people we support in control, empowering them to make their own decisions and choices.
Everyone’s Turning Point is different. Whether we are supporting someone to communicate with their family, learn to cook their favourite meal or to fulfil a life long ambition – we know that by working together we can help people build a better life.
Designed in conjunction with commissioners and other partner organisations including the British Institute for Learning Disabilities (BILD), our groundbreaking integrated services are helping to transform the lives of people with learning disabilities across the UK.
"We are delighted to have been supporting people with a learning disability for 20 years. It has been a long journey for the people we support, their families and carers, our commissioners and all our committed and talented staff. In the last 20 years there have been many positive changes in the lives of people with learning disabilities and we hope that the work we have done has made a contribution to this. We are always looking for ways to keep on improving the services we offer, and we look forward to the future with optimism." Adam Penwarden, Director of Learning Disability
We support people with mild to profound learning disabilities, helping them to live the lives they want, whether through their care manager or their individual budget.
