Who We Support

The support provided will be tailored to the individual's needs, goals and circumstances.

We support adults experiencing a range of physical, cognitive, sensory and functional difficulties. This may include people living with:

Neurological conditions

Physical disabilities
Long-term health conditions
Chronic pain and fatigue
Cognitive or executive functioning difficulties
Sensory difficulties
Neurodiverse conditions, including autism and ADHD

Our focus is on the impact that an individual’s difficulties have on their ability to manage everyday activities, participate in important roles and maintain their independence, rather than simply on their diagnosis.
