The Flower Pod

We are currently in the process of setting up our own English grown cut flower business called the ‘Flower Pod’. Based at Brackenhurst College we hope to start this new enterprise in spring 2012. This will give us an opportunity to offer land based training opportunities and broaden our day service opportunities for clients. Visit our Flower Pod webpage at www.flowerpodsouthwell.co.uk

Care Provision

We have recently set up our own Care Organisation called ‘The Care Project Ltd’. This company now has Care Quality Commission approval. We have set ourselves high quality standards and we aim to deliver the best domiciliary care in the County for adults with learning disabilities. For contact details you can visit the website for our new company at www.thecareproject.co.uk

Accommodation

One of our objectives is to buy or build a property within Southwell to allow adults with learning disabilities in Southwell or the surrounding villages to access supported living within their own community. We very much hope that our long held dream will soon become a reality. Watch this space!
