Our History

The Southwell Care Project was established in 1999 by a group of parents of children with learning disabilities. They discovered that they had common concerns around what would happen to their children when they, the parents, were no longer able to look after them.

Most of these children have grown up in and around Southwell, and with no provision in the community, parents were concerned that their children would have to move away from the area.

A priority for the charity is to provide caring support for Adults with Learning Disabilities in Nottinghamshire, at the appropriate time, and within the community with which they are familiar and where much of their support is to be found.

The aims of the organisation therefore are:-

• To organise accommodation for adults with learning disabilities with caring support whilst encouraging independence appropriate to each person's needs and aspirations.  (Living   Options)

• To create a community services programme for adults with learning disabilities to foster supportive relationships within the community. (Community Services)
