About Us

Mission Statement

Our mission is to offer flexible support to families that include a person with a disability and to provide links in a life chain based on sharing ordinary places

Underpinnings of service provision

  1. That people with a disability have a right to live in their communities
  2. That people with a disability and their families have a right to a good life - in the ordinary sense that we all understand it
  3. That there is no such thing as a good institution - community life and the relationships that brings cannot be artificially duplicated or approximated
  4. That people deserve a life that they don't need a break from, not a break from a life characterised by intolerable pressure.
  5. That the families of people with disabilities deserve the support they need to maintain their health and well being - people with a disability deserve the support they need to maintain good standing within their relationships - to not be seen as a burden.
  6. That when responsible bodies are made aware of the extent and nature of these needs, they will be attended to.
  7. That parents are the right and proper advocates for their sons and daughters who are not able to speak for themselves - and they will make positive choices given the right information.
