CARE domicilliary support provides a range of services for people with a learning disability, including homes, training and supported employment opportunities. Its aim is to encourage service users to lead a meaningful and interesting life with increased independence and, consequently, greater self esteem, particularly when those who have cared for them in childhood are no longer able to do so. The organisation has an agreed philosophy firmly based on the right of people in its care to have a voice in their own destiny, an opportunity to share in purposeful work and leisure pursuits, and a chance to develop their potential to the full. Registered under the Charities Act 1960, the CARE Fund (RCN 261774) is the vehicle through which funds are raised to finance the buildings in which they operate. Currently, there are eight regional Centres supporting over 500 people in the following locations.
- Devon.
- Kent.
- Leicester.
- Lancashire.
- Shropshire.
- Newcastle upon Tyne
- West Sussex.
- Wiltshire.
Those interested should write initially to the Director of Operations at CARE's Central Office in Kibworth, Leicestershire.
